Welcome to HCM. The regular use of potassium rich foods and supplements should help in correcting the cramps,as would a mineral supplement containing Zinc,magnesium and other trace elements.Vitamin E capsules will also ease the cramps.The boils occur because of lowered immunity due to Diabetes and not because of oil consumption.Getting your serum electrolytes checked and keeping a strict diabetic control will help ease your symptoms.
