Crampy Leg is Killing Me!

When I am in school, I have a friend who will always have leg cramps when she run long distance. I wonder why she always have leg cramps and can see that she is in great pain.
After I am confirmed diabetic type 1, I experienced lots of leg cramps. It always happen in the middle of the night or when I was about to wake up. Just a few nights ago, I experienced leg cramps and all I know is I am in excruciating pain! Everytime when I experience leg cramps, I just wanted to shout for help but I cannot. I do not want to disturb my family members. The pull of the muscles of my leg will usually last for almost 5 minutes. It's so painful even for me to sit up properly and I cannot even straighten my legs because it is so painful!
Maybe my tolerance level of pain is still low but whenever I experience leg cramps, I just feel like crying out loud or simply just kill me!
At least what I can do now is to make sure my sugar level is controlled and not to stretch myself whenever I am about to wake up. Because that is always the time that I will have those nasty cramps.
