My cat has diabetes?

I was posting this question earier when I deleted it by mistake, she was first put on insulin, which didn't agree with her, had more blood work done and the vet didn't find any sugar in her blood, took her off insulin and gave me some "Glucotest"urinary glucose detection system, to put in her litter pan to see if the pellrts changed color when she peed on it, now that's been almost 1 year ago and everything is okay with her, she's also on Hill's perscription diet M/D wet, the dry was recalled so got W/D dry, she has symthoms of any diabetes. All this cost me almost $2000.00 including taking a cab with her for the many, many trips to the vet.also didn't get any refund for the insulin & syringes that I had to buy, is it possiable that she was misdiagnoed and never had or has diabetes. I pick up her food at the vet's and no one ever asks about my cat, if she's doing well or not. I'm thinking of getting a second opinion but don't want to put her throught all those painful tests again

Update:

I ran out of letters, just would like to know if there are any vets reading this,to give me their in-put thanks

Update 2:

I would reallt like to hear from anyone who has a diabetic cat and their experience about the treatment their cat requires please answer someone, cause I'm not sure about my cat's illness any more.

Update 3:

sorry I meant the vet didn't find any sugar in her urine and blood was okay, would this info make any difference?

Update 4:

I've had this same vet since day one, 9 years ago. maybe I'll look for another vet but they'll want to know where she was treated before, then information might be shared by both vets, really I don't know what to do, she is okay now so I'll just leave it at that for now, thanks for the info.

    You're going to have to find a new vet. Something you said is troubling me deeply.... "had more blood work done and the vet didn't find any sugar in her blood". If that were true, your cat would most certainly be dead. Animals (including humans) must have some glucose in their blood, or their cells would die. You need to learn as much as you can about this, and learn how to treat it yourself (if the cat is even diabetic, which I doubt). Meanwhile, get another opinion.
