Hello. Welcome to Just Answer and thank you for your question.

You should check your metabolic profiles like serum sodium, potassium, magnesium etc.

Metabolic imbalance may occur with diabetes mellitus and even though you are on insulin, it is possible. You should also check your blood sugar level.

But everything may be fine and you may be simply having 'charley horse' due to dehydration.

Please consult your endocrinologist or GP if it happens again.


I hope my answer is helpful to you. For accepting the answer, please press the "GREEN ACCEPT" button.
I would be highly obliged for a POSITIVE FEEDBACK and BONUS from you.
