I think the pouch food tends to have a higher carbohyrdate content than some of the other canned foods, which isn't good for a diabetic. If you want a list of foods with lower carb counts, you can get it on the diabetes web site. Fancy Feast makes some good low-carb varieties.
Get a second opinion if you don't feel comfortable with this vet. You need to find one you can work with--someone who can provide you with a clear and logical plan of action. A holistic vet may help you see the whole picture easier because they tend to be calmer people. He may also be able to steer you to a regular vet that you can work with easier.
Good luck.
