Oh yes, the litter box gets flooded with urine when you have an unregulated diabetic cat. Those pee patch sizes shrinking back down to normal size are a sign that you are gaining control over the BG levels. Hope that happens for you soon.
The Fancy Feast dry foods are high in carbs, and will contribute to excess water consumption and what goes in must come out.
Have you seen this video on vet Dr. Lisa Pierson's website on cleaning your litter box? You need to scroll down quite a ways, to the section called Litter Box Movie. The quality isn't the greatest, but it shows you the basic idea.
I don't throw out the old litter, just scoop out the feces and urine, clean the sides of the box and add more fresh litter to keep the level in the box up. I find it's really important to get that 3-4 inch litter depth to keep the urine from soaking all the way to the bottom of the litter box. I've been using Dr. Pierson's method for about 3 years now and love it!
