Although incredibly rare, yes, a kitten could develop Diabetes.
It is not truly known what causes diabetes in kittens. Some schools of thought believe that the kitten may have a strong genetic predisposition to the disease, or, like adult cats, the long-term ingestion of high-carbohydrate foods will cause it. Obesity is also known to cause diabetes in adult cats, but in extreme cases, it is not difficult to assume an obese kitten can also develop this.
Generally speaking, cats and kittens get all their nutrients from a high protein diet, and cannot use high-carbohydrate foods. Due to over-feeding foods high in cereal and grain, a cat or kitten may develop diabetes.
