Short answer: Cat starves to death, painfully, eating lots but peeing out all the goodness, until it gets dehydrated and dies of either that, or Diabetic Ketoacidosis.
If you're willing to step up and be a responsible human though, it's very treatable and can totally restore your cat to normal. You'll need a change of diet, twice-daily insulin injections, and a glucose meter from your local drugstore. If you do it right, there's even a 75% or so chance of getting the cat off insulin after 2 or 3 months.
