Furthermore, diabetes doesn’t cause weight gain. There’s different types of diabetes as well, the most common being type-1 and 2. Type-2 is most commonly associated with obesity due to the fact that it’s caused by building a tolerance to the insulin that your body is producing to offset the carbs you’re digesting. Type-1 diabetes is caused by the failure of your pancreas resulting in the loss of the ability to produce insulin period.

In any case, neither of them actually cause weight gain. Injecting insulin does in fact promote weight gain, but that is modest at best. Also taking into account that the adaption of weight-gain from insulin injection doesn’t happen at once, it’s a gradual effect that can take decades in some cases.
