I'm just adding that both my boys are Type 1 Diabetics. On diagnosis both had lost a considerable amount of weight in a very short time. They couldn't access any sugar so their body used fat and energy stores - they didn't lose weight in the correct places
. Their bodies were starved.
Neither were in good shape. When they came out of hospital they raided the fridge non stop trying to refuel. The weight rapidly returned.
