Involuntary body movements-diabetic neuropathy...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The involuntary body movements could be related to peripheral neuropathy caused by diabetes. Other causes include:
- possible damages to spinal cord or brain
- high blood pressure
- possible anti-cholesterol drugs you might take
I'd advise to consult with a neurologist to get properly diagnosed and followed up accordingly!
All the best!
