According to this article [1], many people with type 1 diabetes are also overweight. In fact, the article cites a research study showing that, for those with type 1 diabetes, higher blood glucose levels corresponded to higher weight gain.

Type 2 diabetes seems particularly caused by eating excessive amounts of carbs over a long period of time. In both cases, excessive carbs leads to obesity. The type of calories matters more for obese people trying to lose weight than for healthy people maintaining their weight.
