Hi,
As you are diabetic you will have pain once a while in the calf muscle. This will be like a pain something like discomforts you and doesn't make feel anything good. Usually in diabetes people have less metabolism and the fatigue sets in faster.
So due to this there will be release of lactic acid and the pain will come. Also most diabetic people land up in neuropathy and needs an attention. Having physically examined by a diabetologist should provide more insights to the symptoms.
Medicinal part shall be provided for the same. Regarding the exercises past. I will advice you to do regular general exercise for the legs so that the metabolism improves and the pain doesn't come.
Usually in my clinical practice most of my patients are having good physical strength and blood sugar levels are under control without any additional complaints.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
