Stereotyping much? But in her case, you are correct. She could easily end up type 1 though.

Quick difference between Type 1 and type 2
Type 1: Holyshit you don't make insulin.
Type 2: You produce insulin, but it's not utilized properly. Also called Insulin Resistance.

Given how massive Amber is, I'd say her pancreas flat out failing isn't off the table. Like deathfats suffer organ problems, fact of life.
Now Kiwifarmers, has Amber mentioned how often she vomits? This is a pretty legit sign of being untreated diabetes. You get horribly ill from eating what others do, and it's the body desperately trying to purge sugar. I know folk have mentioned her teeth look bad. Also would be compounded by rampant vomiting. Which destroys the enamel like a charm.
Not to mention didn't she say she uses tums alot? She's probably at the stage where she pukes constantly, refuses to get help, and because she threw up, shoves more food in or she thinks she'll starve to death.
Type 1 was called *juvenile* diabetes for years for a reason. Diagnoses in their 20s are very rare.
One of the functions of insulin is to allow the body to turn glucose supplies into fat cells to use as fuel later. Without insulin, your body cannot store energy. One of the symptoms of type 1 diabetes is rapid weight loss, as the body has no way to replace fat supplies used in day to day life. One of the symptoms of late stage Diabetic KetoAcidosis, where the body begins to furiously burn fat supplies to keep the body running and pumps out fuckloads of ketones in the process, is vomiting, but take it from personal experience, if you are in DKA and vomiting, you cant keep that shit up for a day, forget years on end; once the vomiting starts you are experiencing the first stages of organ shutdown. If Gorl was a undiagnosed type 1, her fat ass would be in the hospital, and if she was shedding weight from lack of insulin, she would be parading her diet successes all over youtube, not putting weight on.
In addition, the pancreas is responsible for a fuckload of different hormonal regulations. If her pancreas were to outright fail, diabetes wouldnt even be a blip on her radar of problems she would be facing.
Now, vomiting can be a response to high blood sugar, which is a symptom of type 2 diabetes as well. In type 2s, the body overproduces insulin to counter insulin resistance. A side effect of this is rapid weight gain, as the body is taking energy that should be going to bodily functions and throwing it into fat cells instead. This is why beetus deathfats complain about being tired all the time, the energy that is supposed to go into feeding their muscles and brain is busy feeding their fat cells.
This would help explain amberlynn's rapid weight gain lately, if she is an undiagnosed type 2, her rampant intake of calories would be packing on pounds at a ridiculous rate. In addition, she would be thirsty a lot, and our gorl would be drinking soda and juices instead of water to satiate that thirst, only compounding the cycle. Then, her blood glucose would go higher, making her thirstier. When she eats a large meal, which she does constantly, her sugar would spike AGAIN, to such a level that her body would purge the sugars similarly to a DKA patient. And when she vomits, she shovels more food in to avoid 'starving', only making the problem worse.
The vomiting could be linked to god knows how many other reasons though. Off of the top of my head:
1. Gorl's hormones are off the wall due to her weight, and crazy hormones could cause nausea and vomiting. Most women can probably back that statement up.
2. Gorl is simply eating way too fucking much, and her body is physically purging it to prevent further damage.
3. Gorl's stomach acids and digestive system are fucked up from her diet, causing nausea and vomiting.
4. Gorl could have ulcers from cronic long term inflammation and stress from being a deathfat, undiagnosed diabetes would also derail her immune system making this more likely
5. constant food-borne illnesses from her utter lack of hygiene and constant eating out.
In short, amberlynn is a complete disaster of medical issues and dietary problems, and the clock is ticking. Given she is falling apart at an earlier age then, say, chantal or chance is telling, her body cant handle the weight as well as other deathfats, and is likely to give out a lot earlier. I'd bet she wont see 30 without something being cut off.
