Unfortunately, diabetes does take it's toll. The one of mine that lived with it for 4 years was rather healthy in spite of it, but in the end, it was kidney failure that took him, and it did come on rather suddenly. My more difficult "child" - the older one, went blind, and the last year suffered from seizures. When they became more frequent, I knew she had no quality life in her, and I finally let her go at 16. I know now that I should have let her go sooner..........
With Bailey being younger, he probably will fare very well for a lot of years to come. Let us know if you find out what is causing him to spike like that all of a sudden.
And if he looks like Sparky - then I know he's a real cutie. Sparky's hair would be long - if I let it grow - but it's Mat City when I do!
