• Type 1 diabetes
• Body mass index
• Insulin therapy
• Retrospective cohort study
• Children

This retrospective analysis of clinical data for children (2-18 years old) with incident T1D found surprisingly low (9%) prevalence of underweight, and high (15% overweight; 8% obesity) respectively at diagnosis. These results suggests a need to rethink the classic clinical teaching surrounding skinnier presentation at diagnosis, and importantly, the corresponding expectation of weight gain after insulin therapy initiation.
