Hi,
I am sorry for the situation you are in.
It is common for diabetics to develop neuropathy if they do not control diabetes well.
Lipitor you take is another cause to leg cramps. I highly advise to discuss with your doctor to stop taking it for a couple of months and see the changes.
Next, it is also common for diabetics to have deficiencies in vitamins and minerals. This can be another cause to leg cramps especially when it comes to magnesium deficiency.
Hope it was of help!
