I'm sorry Spikey has been diagnosed with some many problems! The diabetes and thyroid issues both can be managed with medication, and he can live a good life as long as it's medically managed and you have regular visits with the vet. As for the alopecia, depending on the cause of it, it can be treated. I would discuss with your vet what they think his prognosis is for a good life, as they can see him in person (which I can't), and would have a better idea of it than I :-)
