I posted about my 16 yr old cat Blackie recently with gaining weight after starting insulin on April 26.
He's always been around 10 lbs and when I took him into the vet for a bladder infection (April 16), he was 9 lbs 2 oz.
Doctor noticed high glucose in urine, brought him back 10 days later to be tested for diabetes.
That day he started his shots.

I have noticed consistent weight gain ever since. A few days ago he was 10 lbs 14 oz.
A few days ago I noticed he's been having incontinence and then noticed his stomach seems a bit large and sort of firm.
He is acting as normal as can be, using the litter box and eating.

The doctor is out of town tomorrow so I have an appt for Blackie Friday morning.

Has anyone else experienced this?
 
I don’t think this is diabetes related. Gaining weight, yes, but not firm belly. Acre you sure he’s not constipated? It’s good he’s acting normal.
