This is becoming mundane. I have, as in your example, have known skinny diabetics as well as obese diabetics. Do you have an explanation?

The obesity in Type II diabetics is caused by chronic hypernormal amounts of insulin hormone in the bloodstream, which in turn blocks the burning of body fat and results in a progressive increase of body fat and obesity. By contrast Type I Diabetes is caused by the inability of the pancreas to produce insulin, which results in elevated blood sugars without the administration of exogenous forms of insulin. When a person with Type I Diabetes takes no exogenous insulin or takes minimal amounts of insulin to maintain relatively normal levels of insulin, there may be no insulin related increases in body fat and obesity comparable to what is experienced by patients with Type II Diabetes. When a person with Type I Diabetes does take in excessive amounts of insulin, they experience increases in body fat and obesity comparable to that of patients with Type II Diabetes.
