Advice is needed. My 14y/o cat was just diagnosed with diabetes. We"re still aquiring information to make the best decision for our cat. Does anybody here have any experience? Or tips? I am able to afford the insulin, I just want to know what's best for him. I don't want to elongate his suffering but it feels devastating either way.

Impossible to say without knowing the cat in question and how they usually act and how it has changed. I would say that this is something you need to discuss with your vet, based on behavior and medical diagnosis. That's about the only way to determine whether the cat is actively suffering from the condition or not.
