My Kitten Passed Away In A Very Unusual Manner?

i had a siamese, and she was 7 weeks old. my boyfriend gave her to me as an anniversary gift in oct 24th. and from that day, she was sick and i knew inside. she was having this terrible diarreah problem and it was like straight liquid but it was light brown in color.
she had this thing where when we had food she would start srceaming and get violent to get to the food. she would eat and eat and eat and eat untill she would throw up. but then she would have diarreah and it’s like she would poop about 10 minutes after she ate, every time. it was awful.
so we took her to the vet and the vet said there is nothing wrong and she is too young to eat cat food, and he had us make her twice steamed brown rice with chicken stock and squash. so we did. 6 times a day we came home form school to make her food and give it to her. (college students).
and omg she was so skinny and i thought it was just because she was so young. she weighed 1.5. pounds at the vet that day.
and she would sleep ALL the time. i know, people say kittens are like babies and sleep alot, but is it normal for a kitten to have never played because it sleeps all day unless it’s eating or pooping?
well on nov 16th, 3 weeks later i went to my moms for the night and my boyfriend was left alone with the kitten. he did the same routine as normal, but this night went differently. around 2:15 am bella (the kitten) started pooping non stop all over the bed and the smell woke him up. so he picked her up and put her in the litter box and he saw that her hind quarters werent working and she was still pooping. so he put her in a blanket and rushed her to the emergency vet clinic.
now remember, we got her at a pets and pals and they said she was perfectly healthy.
so when she was at the vet they wanted to run some blood tests, but because she was so small and skiny when they drew blood it stopped her heart so they did CPR to bring her back. her blood test came back as she was diabetic. and the vet was telling him that she had a pancreas disease that was making the pancreas not absorb nutrients and that she was starting and dying of thirst. they weighed her and she was 3/4 of a pound.(this is less than a week after the other vet appointment). it was horrible, so he and the vet knew she was going to die unless she had extensive surgery so he opted to have her put to sleep to avoid any pain for her. and what is so cool about all this, is we have other kittens at home, and we saw some pet psychic show and it said that you can communicate i love you to your pets by blinking at them 3 times ina row. so we tried it with our 2 older kittens, and strangely they blinked 3 times back! it was the weirdest thing, they would start purring and cuddling after that too. who knows maybe they just like blinking. but my boyfriend told bella it was ok for her to go to sleep now, and she looked at him and blinked 3 times and closed her eyes and never opened them again. the vet took her to the back to euthanize her to make sure she was gone so she wasnt suffering anymore.
what i am confused about is, what really happened? what was really wrong with her? she was my pride and joy and i loved her so much. she went everywhere with me. i mean seriously, i would get up at 11pm 2am and 4 am to give her HOME MADE food. even now, with the 2 new kittend we just got last week, i am still sick to my stomach about this and it is hard for me to eat or drink anything still. i know the pain will pass with time but i just want to know what happened to my bella boo. i want to know why the pet store didnt tell us. they ran a full blood test on her and all the other kittens in the litter and said they were all perfectly fine, and then made my bf sign something saying if she gets sick they are not responsible… i am so hurt by this i am just now able to come here and write to see if someone might know what happened inside my bella.
