Life with diabetes is mostly difficult because of people not understanding it, and people putting type 1 and type 2 in the same basket when there is a big difference. I can't give you an advice on how to be happy with it because you'll always feel like life is unfair, it's always there in the subconscious, how others don't appreciate the freedom they have while you have a ball and chain around your leg. You just need to learn how to carry that chain around without getting too tired and after some time you'll get strong enough so it feels feather light.
