Likely sounds like diabetic neuropathy or restless leg syndrome. please seek the consult of a podiatrist. there are topical and internal treatment options.
Find a therapist that uses low level laser therapy. S/he should be able to help.
Stapping this is NOT easy. There are medications for "restless leg" that can help, however.
Sounds like restless leg syndrome. I would see your doctor for evaluation. There are different treatment options depending on the cause. Hope this was helpful!
This condition is called RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome) and is related to Neuropathy/Nerve damage caused by chronically high blood sugar (Diabetes). You can see a neurologist for proper diagnostic testing of the nerves, and there are medications that can be prescribed for such conditions.
There are several different possible causes for this, the most likely being restless leg syndrome which can be controlled with medication
Dear Patient,
Your symptoms fit the description of Restless Leg Syndrome, which is associated with diabetes and neuropathy. You should see your physician as treatment is available.

Check with your Dr. There is medication for neuropathy and restless leg syndrome.
You may have restless leg syndrome. I recommend you make an appointment with your Primary care Physician or whoever is managing your Diabetes to discuss treatment options
Hi,
It seems you have restless legs syndrome, for which mirtazapine 1 mg can help at night. You may also have this symptom from diabetic neuropathies. This should be amenable for better metabolic control.
Thanks,
Dr. Sunil
