The prevalence of obesity (OB) is increasing among individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D), posing unique challenges for managing their blood sugar levels and long-term health. Unlike type 2 diabetes (T2D), which is closely linked to OB and insulin resistance (IR), addressing OB in T1D requires careful consideration, because patients rely on external insulin, which can contribute to weight gain. In this review, we will discuss the causes and complications of OB in individuals with T1D, current approaches to treatment, potential lifestyle, and medical, and surgical interventions to manage weight while effectively maintaining optimal blood sugar control.
