I got saddled with Type 1 after a bout of Montezuma's Revenge in Acapulco about 20 years ago. Early on I realised is was not going to give up anything, so I usually eat and drink in moderation, and will resort to a booster shot if needed. I usually keep my levels under control, and even ran 7 marathons, finishing 26.2 miles with blood/sugar levels in the normal range.

I will eat most foods, but noticed that bagels shoot my sugar levels astronomically (about as much as 7candy bars.)
