General & Family Physician,  's  Response
As you mentioned that you are having diabetes, high blood pressure , arthritis ( because you are also taking treatment for these disease ).
According to you, you are having low level of magnesium and feeling leg cramps and severe leg pain.
The possibility of sever leg cramps ( pain ) may be due to atherosclerosis ( narrowing of artery lumen in legs ).
So , please consult a cardiologist and get his opinion .
Also get in blood for lipid profile .
As you are also taking suppliments , so take these regularly.
Good luck.
