My parents have a diabetic cat. She was diagnosed about 13 years ago when she was only 3. She's been on varying dosages of insulin (injections) for the entire time. She's around 16 years old now. If managed properly, it doesn't have to be a death sentence.

She's still doing fairly well. She limps a little sometimes like her paws hurt from poor circulation and her eyes are dull with cataracts but she still enjoys life. At 16 years old it's not uncommon to see her run across the house or chase one of her toys.
