Does everyone with type 1 diabetes lose weight? What I mean is before they're diagnosed. Or does anyone with type 1 diabetes gain weight?

dear type 1 diabetes
the symptoms of type 1 diabetes are
increased production of urine (because the body tries to get rid of the excess glucose in the urine, diluting it with water),
excessive thirst,
fatigue (because the glucose is not being converted into energy),
LOSS OF WEIGHT,
increased appetite,
feeling sick,
blurred vision,
infections such as thrush or irritation of the genitals.
If type 1 diabetes is not treated at this stage, the body begins to produce chemicals called ketones that build up in the blood. This condition ? diabetic ketoacidosis ? causes additional symptoms:
vomiting,
stomach pain,
rapid breathing,
increased pulse rate,
sleepiness.
i hope this helps
