I think as soon as your diagnosis changes on your medical record which will be once the consultant has confirmed type 1 and prescribed accordingly. There should me no effect on your premiums

Whilst it may not affect your premiums, it is important to tell your insurance company as soon as possible - if you have an accident and your diagnosis comes out then, your insurance company may suggest you were not covered,

As you are on insulin you should have told the dvla from day one. Also inform your ins company. Your premiums will not be affected. If you don't tell them your licence is non valid as is your ins.
