Hi,

Continue limiting sugary processed food and include a high protein diet. Make sure to eat in small quantities spaced frequently. Do not consume large portion of food at a time.
Make sure that you are also consuming adequate fiber in form of vegetables, rice, XXXXXXX oat etc.

Regarding the pain in your calves, the likely concern is for peripheral neuropathy.
Clinical examination and nerve conduction studies are required to confirm. Given your episodes of reactive hypoglycemia and the possibility of peripheral neuropathy, it is very important to rule out diabetes with blood sugar and HbA1c analysis.
Your physician can also assess the blood flow to legs clinically. Decreased blood flow associated with atherosclerosis can result in recurrent episodes of leg pain.
