I try to drink a lot of liquids, but I am diabetic so I have to be a little careful about what I put in my body. I'm just not sure why my legs get so weak - any suggestions??
It's hard to say because you're a diabetic... if you're getting cramps, I'd say your electrolytes are low, but I'm not sure what would appropriate for you to eat or drink. Your doctor or nutritionist might be good for suggestions for that.



I love shot blocks with caffeine, instant energy after a bonk.
