Try searching Driving and DVLA on the Forum page. I googled "can you be a driving instructor with diabetes" and found a link to this site. Having since trawled through 30 pages. I found nothing that answers your question. Apologies, but try phoning DVLA on 0300 790 6806 which will get you through to the Medical Group - eventually!
I think @woollygal is a driving instructor, and I know she talks about avoiding hypos, but I think she's T2 and not on insulin.
@searley is pretty knowledgeable about driving licenses and driving while T1.
@Nadia19 Not sure about the legality, but you'd need to have a good way to avoid hypos, because you wouldn't want to go hypo while at the wheel, though hopefully a cgm would help.

Thanks for your advice I will have a look online, on DVLA it does a application and you answer a few general questions. No questions about health conditions or restricted licenses. If I don’t have any luck online either, I will contact them personally. Thank you.

Thanks for your reply, I’m going to have a look online again and try find something. Failing that I will contact the DVLA and find out. If anyone else has helpful answers I’m happy to read. Thanks again.
