Type 1 diabetics need life long insulin.
Type 1 diabetics can be underweight due to multiple reasons
1. Absolute insulin deficiency - less lean mass
2. Poor glycemic control leading to weight loss
3. Coexisting coeliac disease
First step is to optimise glycemic control with premeals 90-130 and post meals 140-160 with minimal hypos and Hba1c <7.
You'll likely gain weight if you have optimised your glycemic control well.
