Welcome@Abz Abdul as well as your Type 1 diagnosis it sounds like you had other medical issues. My advice would be, to accept that bouncing back to full fitness may take some time. Both mentally and physically. Do not get over frustrated that you are not getting there as quickly as you would like. It will come. Eat as healthily as you can possibly do so to aid body repair. Get yourself a carb counting app/book like carbs and Cals and weigh any carbs you are eating, even an apple. It will help with matching your food to ratio, which they must have given you.
Another good book is Think Like a Pancreas by Gary Scheiner. He’s an American but also a Type 1 medic. Informative but humorous as well.
Lots of baby steps, you will get there and this will become your new norm. You cannot change it unfortunately, so as @therower says, accepting is a help with the mental side.
