Camille,
What you did for your rat was a gentle, loving way to help end her suffering. You didn't kill her- you just made her passing less painful for her.
One of my diabetic cats went into a coma and I rushed him to the vet, but he ended up being put to sleep. I think your choice to end your rat's suffering was very brave.
My other cat is doing well on his insulin, but if he starts to fail, I've all ready decided to ease his pain myself.
Take care. Give your other ratties special attention, they'll miss her too.
