Not true. I’ve met many skinny type 1 diabetics.
**********************************************
TYwo completly opposite diseases.
Type 1 = Pancreas fails to produce the hormone insulin because of damage to the insulin cells. Insulin injections are needed to replace the insulin.
Type 2 is caused by the overproduction of insulin causing insulin resistance. This causes glucose to be stored as fat. Adding insulin injections causes even more damage
Two completely opposite diseases treated one way.
Type 2 is a dietary disease, not a hormonal disease. You don’t fix dietary diseases with medication

Type 1 is most likely an autoimmune disease with the islet cells being destroyed by the immune system. A local friend was treated by having her immune system killed off and restarted with an implant. In addition, islet cells were implanted into her liver as a replacement host substrate. Her type 1 was cured and she went on to have 3 children. She was also gluten intolerant and the digestive damage had limited uptake of calcium. Her feet were fracturing from osteoporosis. The immune system reset and islet cell implants were done in Salt Lake City.

Is Type 2 Diabetes An Autoimmune Disease?

Apparently, there is some evidence that Type 2 is autoimmune, but a very different set of targets than Type 1.
