That is a very difficult question to answer especially because his diabetes may not be well controlled yet. I would advise you to consult with Spikey's veterinarian to discuss his quality of life and current medical conditions. If there is anything we can do to improve his diabetes such as switching insulin, it may be worth a try prior to considering euthanasia.
