Heyup, I was diagnosed at 19. I can’t pinpoint the exact time it started for me, but I was a bigger guy and just one day the weight just melted off. It was to the point where if I handed over my ID for a club, they thought it wasn’t me. I was chugging several litres of water daily, and lost well over half my body weight within a few months.

There is nothing you can do for type 1. One day it’ll just happen, no matter how healthy, fat, for or lazy you are, it will happen if you’re born with it.
