Always set a small goal for yourself and allow yourself rewards now and then. Think of what you want from the future like having kids? At 19 all this is hard enough as life is suppose to be fun and it can be just have to watch what and how you do things. Diabetes is not something you tame you have to stay on your toes as it is not the same for any two people so only you can watch you 
the good thing is it was caught and you know it is there and can get a handle on it without a many problems later in life.
