You need to see: Yur doctor for further evaluation. It is possible you have a vitamin/mineral deficiency. It is not uncommon for a diabetic to have low magnesium in their red blood cells. This couldbe causing your spasms, the falling might be due to bad balance from neuropathy. Consult with doc for definitive diagnosis and treatment.
