With anything really, there’s currently no point, but if I get cv and I’m really ill am I correct in thinking as a t1 diabetic no one would treat me?
I’ve told dh to leave me in the spare bedroom as I’d sooner die at home.

Even if they are swamped, even if it comes to a point where you are seriously ill and they are forced to prioritise. You are mid 30s not 60+ so you are more likely to be treated.
If the worst happens and you are so seriously ill they couldn't help you you would still be advised to go in because they will be able to load you up with palliative drugs so you dont die horribly gasping for breath.

If you choose not to go in you would be more likely to die when you could have been saved and you are more likely to die a horrible and unnecessary death.

Go. To. Hospital.

I don’t believe they’d deny children with t1 treatment and I don’t think underlying conditions seem to affect the death rate in children? It’s 0.02% for under 20s.
