Diabetes usually causes cataracts which can be treated through surgery, but is very expensive. So, yes, diabetes causes loss of eyesight in dogs.

If it goes blind in both eyes at the same time, then just once. If it goes blind in one eye, it can then go blind up to one more time.

So a maximum of twice.

Should a dog be put to sleep because of blindness and diabetes?

This will be a very difficult decision to make for the owner - does the dog still enjoy interacting with the owner? Can the dog still control his bladder and colon and make it outside to go to the bathroom? Does the dog still eat and drink a healthy amount? Blindness in dogs is not nearly as debilitating as blindness in humans because dogs rely more on their senses of smell and hearing anyway. If the blindness is secondary to the diabetes (which is common), it was a progressive loss of function and the dog was able to adapt to the blindness slowly. Diabetes is also a manageable disease in most dogs, although some may not be able to be regulated or may object to the insulin injections. If the dog is simply blind and has manageable and stable diabetes, but otherwise acts like a normal dog, it wouldn't be more humane to put the dog down.
