The official line is that below the age of 40 it is likely to be type 1 and above 40 type 2. Remember that type 1s do not lose all pancreatic B-cell function suddenly, I was undiagnosed for nearly a year and only realised being tired, thirsty and urinating frequently in the last 3 months although I suppose my symptoms became worse gradually and my body learnt to ignore it. I was drinking water about 3-4 litres a day.
The likelihood is that after treating you with insulin at the hospital they took some blood to assess how much insulin you are producing using a C-peptide test and they probably also did a GAD antibodies and pancreatic islet antibodies tests to establish whether you are type 1 or 2. You might want to read into type 1.5/ LADA as I am not very informed about it.

According to the NHS you're at high risk of developing hypertension but not officially hypertensive yet. You should wait for your body to normalise a bit. Your body is likely still settling after not receiving enough energy due to shortage/absence of insulin. In terms of your cholesterol you can stick to your current diet if you wish to but could opt for unsaturated fats such as olive oil, avocados and fatty fish rather than things like hard cheese, butter and fatty red meat. You must discuss with your dietician regarding what the ideal diet for you is but for now wait for a bit because it isn't confirmed if you are type 1/1.5/2/3c
