[QUOTE="Gary Thom, post: 585462, member: 94775"] I think this has been answered but I was obese when I got T1D. However, by time of diagnosis I was in the normal BMI range and I'm still there which is the silver lining from this. Nothing I've read would suggest that my obesity caused my diabetes - though my GP originally had me down as type II, understandably so. In some ways I'm glad it's type I as I prefer the self-pitying 'darn my bad luck' to the 'my ****** lifestyle has really messed me up' type thinking. Sorted myself out diet-wise and if anything Diabetes has been the trigger to becoming much healthier. [/QUOTE]
