Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.
I have reviewed your information fully. These are complications which could with diabetes. Poor blood circulation(cramps when walking) and nerve damage(numbness). I will suggest you mention theses to your doctor for investigation and appropriate management as these may lead to wounds that would be difficult to heal.
Good blood sugar control, regular exercise as tolerated and eating healthy would be helpful.
I hope this helps. I wish you well.
