is neuropathy constant or are there isolated episodes

12-year old Isaac was diagnosed about two months ago, was on insulin for about a month and has been OTJ for about one month.

I test him daily and his BG numbers are excellent around 70 - 90.

The mystery is that on two occasions (about 24 hours apart) he has experienced episodes of wobbly week back legs. It is pretty mild though--he doesn't drop all the way to his hocks, they are just lower than usual with a couple of stumbles --over in 30 seconds. At other times he is fine and jumping onto furniture. It is very possible that he has had it before but I just didn't notice.

Does neuropathy appear when the BG numbers are this low? It is something that comes and goes? or are the symptoms constant once your kitty has it?

I am waiting for a delivery of methyl B-12. Any advice would be appreciated.

P.S. It is thanks to this site that my cat diabetes is in remission. I learned everything here and I thank you.
 
That does not sound like neuropathy to me. Neuropathy is typically when they walk on their rear hocks,with no stumbles. Mabe arthritis. Week legs can be cause by low potassium.
 
It sounds like he may have something neurological or vascular happening. Does he cry out at all when this happens? How do his eyes look? - pupils normal, equal?
