I too was wrongly diagnosed and just the relief of knowing what is actually wrong with you and the thought of not feeling like **** constantly is great, you're right you can do most things, you've just recently been diagnosed so you're in a different place to me and you're just happy you dont feel ill all the time which i understand, but once you get over that, the constant grind and years of living with it, you'll understand what i mean, there is a freedom that you just cant have as a type 1, and the constant mental toll it takes on you is draining, i miss being able to be spontaneous. Its constantly on you're mind day in day out, its a condition you cant get a break from. Also type 2's like the one above who try to preach, and are not insulin dependant, and have only been diagnosed later on in life, would not understand the life and struggles of a type 1 diabetic.
