Hi,

The first thing I would recommend doing (if you haven't already) is have your cat tested for Cushing's disease.   This is a rare adrenal gland disease, but the main symptom in cats is diabetes that can't be regulated.   Here is a link to a page about it:

If this test is negative then you may want to switch to a different type of insulin. Some pets will respond better to one than to another. Though the one you are using usually works well.

Some diabetic cats respond well to high fiber diets others do to low carb diets.   I'm not sure why your vet didn't want you to try the Evo.    Being high protein and low carb, its very similar (only with better ingredients) to the prescription diabetic food Purina D/M.

If you have further questions or if this didn't answer your question let me know. If this answer is helpful please click accept. Thank you.
