General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and thank you for your question.
Most of the time foot cramps are due to either dehydration or not getting enough vitamins or minerals. Dehydration is common in diabetics if your sugars is running high. Make sure you drink plenty of water and that your sugars are controlled. Avoid all drinks with alcohol or caffeine (coffee, tea, soda) and take a multivitamin/multimineral supplement daily
Good luck
