One thing I wish I'd been told more about when first diagnosed was the possibility of prolonging the honeymoon period. It was decades ago, and back then the advice was to eat a fairly normal diet and just dose as much insulin as needed.

If I was back in that position I'd go low carb high exercise from the start, and do everything I could to reduce my insulin requirements as much as possible. There are cases of new T1s coming of insulin completely, or just a low basal dose for multiple years.
