You know, I will remind you, that diabetics lose magnesium in the urine all the time. Your spasms might be due to low mag levels.

Inositol is also recommended for type II diabetics.

I think 6mg of melatonin at night is too much. I'd cut back to 3mg and see what happens.
14 units is a small amount. Some cats get that dose (as a comparison).
