I'm in bed, no shoes. It's been fine all day, I occasionally get it in my road shoes though.

Wouldn't surprise me. I used to drink/eat an imperial fuck tonne of sugary stuff. Stress has always been high though a low bmi is usually good.

I get cramps in my feet if my shoes are too narrow. I got pretty wide feet and with my inline skates I get cramps in the front and middle pretty quick. Besides cramps also numbness. Wider shoes and good support (nice inlay soles) can solve that. Also: less beer, more water.

Go and see a doctor rather than receive a dodgy forum diagnosis. A couple of blood tests should decide if you are diabetic or not and it may not even come to that. There may be a simpler explanation for your cramps.

I am beerless. I just wondered if there was anything obvious I'm doing wrong.

You have to beg for beer now you're diabetic.

I know it's not right to call Asian folks gooks, but the Asian ''squint'' looking eyes are in English called gooks right?

I just checked online and never heard of it before but I can find several sites linking Diabetes and cramps in foot.
Can't hurt to ask a real doctor.

I've never heard that, FWIW. If it is used that way then it'll be an equally pejorative retrofit of the existing slur.

What would I then call it without being a dick?

Citation? I can't find any evidence that gook is used at all in British English, and in 'merkin it has referred to various kinds of forrins not limited to East Asians for about 120 years, but not to their or anybody else's eyes, as far as I can see

Google translate the Dutch word ''spleetoog'' which literally translates to ''split eye'' gives me gook.

I think google translate (well-known for being arse) is giving you the pejorative as a slang result. I'm not sure that there's a proper translation in English without using the technical term, but I could be wrong.

I never stretch anyway. This is toes and arches of the feet. Probably dehydrated

The multiple cases of Diabetes on one side of the family suggests there's a definite risk.

sheesh this got interesting... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicanthic_fold
wouldn't use gook unless you wanted a thumping, unless you follow it up with some karate noises "aww ya", then it's ok.

WHY THE FUCK CAN'T YOU JUST CALL THEM ASIAN PEOPLE?
Gooks are people too FFS, and customarily refers to enemy combatants in 'Nam and the locals in the Philipines and other nearby places where the US forces have been based.
Chinese people are not typically gooks. I would expect a different racist term to be applied to Japanese people.
