[QUOTE="frenchkittie, post: 202767, member: 23514"] Yep, the wardrobe side of diabetes was an unexpected plus. Over the years I had put on a few pounds (as you do when you hit 50). I was still in the normal BMI range, but my figure was not what it used to be. I then lost about 1 and a half stones rather quickly leading up to being diagnosed type 1 in 2009. Since diagnosis I have put back on a few pounds, but am now the same size and weight as I was at 18, size 10 to 12. Obviously I won't now be wearing the clothes that I wore then, but being a bit of a hoarder I do have clothes dating back many years that I can fit into with ease, and "vintage" is all the rage now :) [/QUOTE]
