Insulin causes weight gain in response to food intake and diabetics have low insulin or insulin resistance. Should not diabetics then be thin?

Untreated diabetes does lead to rapid weight loss. That’s how diabulimics “purge”.
It’s a bit confusing since type II diabetes typically presents in overweight patients, since a lifestyle that leads to being overweight also leads to insulin resistance, plus the additional weight itself causes insulin resistance.
