I'm sorry to hear that you're in this difficult position! Diabetes is generally a very treatable disease in cats, provided that you are able to make the recommended diet changes and give daily insulin injections. I do not normally consider this a reason to euthanize the cat, unless the owner feels that treatment is not feasible - either for logistical or financial reasons. Please let us know if you have specific questions about this - we would be happy to try and help.
