It's very common in cats, and dogs get it too.
She gets canned Evo 95% meat (no wheat) in the morning, and Nature's Variety raw at night. Sometimes if I run out of Evo, she gets Fancy Feast (again, the no-wheat flavors). She gets little treats sometimes, the cottage cheese which the vet prescribed because her phosphorous was so low, other cheese, and a little fish occasionally. Sometimes I'll give her a couple teeny vegetables because she loves that, like three peas.
Before she got diabetes, she ate a fairly lousy diet, kibbles and people food. It sounds like this sort of diet is contributing to the high increase in diabetes in cats. But, I didn't realize. I thought I could reverse it with diet changes, but that didn't work.
