Yes, if the diabetes has gone far enough and little or no insulin is
being produced, an
untreated Type II diabetic could become thin. However, I believe that
no thin person
*becomes* a Type II diabetic (but I could be wrong :-)
I have a thin friend who was recently diagnosed as a Type I diabetic at
age 72, so it
can happen.
