Type 1 Pop Star, Nick Jonas Tells His Story
26 April 2007
Nick Jonas is a personable boy of fourteen who happens to be a member of the Jonas Brothers Band, a group of three brothers with a devoted following of very passionate young fans. In November 2005, Nick Jonas found out that he had type 1 diabetes.
A month or two before he was diagnosed, he began to notice “the usual symptoms: losing weight, the bad attitude, being thirsty, going to the bathroom all the time.” He lost about fifteen pounds in two to three weeks, and “it was just insane. I had a terrible attitude, which was totally odd for me because I’m actually a nice person. Especially being on the road around people all the time, you have to keep that positive energy going. And it was hard.”
Nick took some time off from the band’s tour to see a doctor, who packed him off to the hospital immediately when she heard his symptoms. His blood sugar was over 700. “For someone who had no bad medical history ever,” he says, “to suddenly have the shock of diabetes was a bit overwhelming in itself, and then I had to learn all about it, learn all these things in such a short period of time. All of it was crazy. I also wondered if I could continue making music...but I had the support of my friends and the band to be there with me. My dad was back at home with my three other brothers, but my mom stayed at the hospital with me every night.”
The day after Nick left the hospital, he performed in a concert and jumped right back into the flow of doing shows and touring. He started out taking multiple daily injections of NovoLog with Lantus, checking his blood sugar about twelve times a day. He says, “When we were on the road, I’d be in the back of the band trying to give insulin shots and manage my diabetes, and it was just too hard. I was getting frustrated with it. I knew that I needed something different, a solution to the problem, which in fact was the OmniPod [by Insulet]. It’s really changed my life in a big way. I started using it in about April and absolutely loved it. And all my friends think that it’s a really cool device.” He says he was shown other pumps, but he adamantly refused them all because he wanted an OmniPod. He says, “Before I got the OmniPod, I heard about the other ones and they showed me examples and prototypes, but I was like, no, I want this.”
In his OmniPod, Nick uses NovoLog insulin. When he was touring and performing outside at up to 100 degrees last summer, he could set the basal down a little bit so he wouldn’t go low. He reports that he hasn’t had too many episodes of low blood sugar. “The past couple months have been awesome for managing my diabetes, and I’m doing well. My A1c has come down a lot. It is in about the 7% to 8% range, and it was 11% to 12% when I first was diagnosed.”
“What’s awesome about the OmniPod,” Nick says, “is that it works as a FreeStyle meter, so I just put the FreeStyle test strip in it. He tries to check about nine to ten times a day, and his blood sugar is usually 150 to 175 mg/dl. He acknowledges this is high, but because he is so fit and active and has a tendency to go low, this is what he has been advised should be his normal range. His friends are very supportive. “I’ll check my sugar and they’re all concerned, what’s it at right now?” He’s thought about using a continuous monitor and may be using one soon.
Nick doesn’t follow any special diet. He can pretty much eat whatever he wants as long as he makes sure to take the right amount of insulin for it. He is a huge steak eater: “I could eat all the steak in the world,” he says, but “I’ll eat pretty much anything.” He notes that with the OmniPod, he can enter the carbs and it’ll give him a suggested amount of insulin. It also has a food database, in case he ever has a question about how many carbs are in something. When he gets low, he prefers to drink orange juice or some other liquid because they work so quickly.
In March 2007, about a year and a half after his diagnosis, Nick publicly announced that he has diabetes at Carnival For a Cure, in an appearance sponsored by Insulet. He had known from the get-go that he knew he wanted to go public with his diabetes; it was simply a matter of when. He notes that he’s still new to diabetes and feels “like a freshman coming into a senior’s class.” He waited until he felt comfortable with managing his diabetes before telling everyone about it. Of course, he didn’t test in public until after his announcement, but now he tests wherever he is.
As an example of the intense scrutiny to which he is subjected by his fans, there is now a game on line called “Spot the OmniPod, ” in which fans examine old photos of him, trying to spot his pump. Some of them write his name on their arm where he wears it. Everyone in his whole family has a fansite, even his father and his little six-year-old brother.
After Nick announced that he had diabetes, he says, “I found it amazing just how many people know somebody with diabetes or have diabetes themselves. We’d get these stories about how some of the kids were really afraid to tell their friends and how my situation gave them courage to do that. The fact that I’m able to have somewhat of a spotlight to share my story, I just feel blessed.” He carries a supply of guitar picks in his pocket, and “whenever I meet another diabetic buddy as I call them, I give them a pick, a cool little thing.”
Nick appreciates the fact that “I have a platform to be able to share my story. I have this passion to be able to share with young people my age and be a positive light in a situation that might not be so positive. I’ve heard stories about kids who were in depression because after they got diagnosed they were just so upset about what was going on. That just touched my heart, and I wanted to be able to do something about it. I hope that I can be that positive light.”
Asked to describe the biggest hassle of diabetes, Nick tells about the times when it’s been a long day, and he has to go back and deal with some of the annoying things about diabetes. When he gets a low blood sugar, “it’s like, oh, what do I do, and you just get kind of overwhelmed. That’s one of the biggest things for me. And also when people don’t understand too much about diabetes and you have to explain. I try to make it work. I say, well, it’s a little bit different than you might have heard.”
Being on tour adds a dimension of difficulty to managing his diabetes because the schedule is “kind of insane.” It’s getting easier now because he’s been doing it a little bit longer. “It’s a team effort and it’s all good,” he says. His mom travels on tour with him. His mom “is awesome.” She helps him with everything he does, especially in managing his diabetes. He takes supplements and vitamins because his mom favors them. He describes his parents as his biggest influence, totally amazing people whom he’s blessed to have in his life.
He knows that diabetes “is a huge part of my life and I can’t just forget about it, obviously. I have to keep taking care of it and managing it, and learning more things about it. Hopefully one day they’ll come up with some type of cure, and I hope I’ll be one of the first to know about it.
Nick comes across as extremely well-spoken and mature for his age. He describes himself as “more the quiet guy in the bunch,” not the kind of person who will just go up to somebody and start a conversation. But “I consider myself somewhat of a leader, hopefully.” He is planning to be very involved with the diabetes community. “This is just the beginning of what’s to come with all this.”
To newly diagnosed kids with diabetes, Nick would say, “Don’t let it slow you down at all. I made a promise to myself on the way to the hospital that I wouldn’t let this thing slow me down and I’d just keep moving forward, and that’s what I did. Just keep a positive attitude and keep moving forward with it. Don’t be discouraged.”
Nick Jonas and his two older brothers, Kevin and Joe, form the Jonas Brothers Band. They hail from New Jersey, where their parents were both musicians. Nick sings, plays guitar and drums. The band is very popular with young girls, who have numerous fansites in which they declare their love for Nick and his brothers. Their first album, “It’s About Time,” was released in August 2006. Their newest record comes out August 7, 2007, full of new songs.

OMJ! When I found out you had diabetes i was so sad! I almost started crying. Just the other day i was thinking to myself and i was like, i dont know what diabetes is and i only know two very important people in my life who have it, my grandpa and Nick... well i was thinking about doing a project on it. So Im gonna make a BIG poster and hang it on my wall. I LOVE YOU NICK!!!
Hey Nick
I have been a huge fan of yours for a while now. When I found out about your having type 1, I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but I was glad. Not glad that you have to deal with that but glad that I'm not alone. You see about a year and a half ago I was told that I have Insulin Resistance, there is an other really long name but I can't remember it, anyway it means that I have pre-diabetes. The doctor told me what to do to try and avoid it but even if it works I will still most likely get type 1 when I am about 20 or 25. When I found out I was in the doctors office and I couldn't stop crying. I was really scared because I didn't know anything about what was happening in my body and I hate needles so much I can get sick. I was really depressed and self conscious about it but when I found out that you had it I kind of woke up. I realized that diabetes is something that lots of people have, even you, and that God can help me through any thing. So thanks a lot for doing this interview and showing me that dealing with my glucose doesn't make me weird. It just makes me, ME. Thank you for being you and God Bless STIFFY
A SMILE A DAY! :)
Nick, I was so sad when I found out. I love you nick!!!! I hope everything is ok.
i think that was sooooo brave of u nick!!!!!!
i wouldn't have been able to do something like that.
my grandma has diabetes to n when i heard this i couldn't help but cry!!!!!!
i wish you the best
NICK I LOVE YOU!!!!!!! i went to your concert when you can to denver and it was awsome
i like how you jus keep moving forward like nothings wrong
thats what i love about you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
stay healthy!!!!!
♥ i think that you are sooooooooo hot
u r the cutest jonas brother!!!!! i love u
Hey Nick,
When I heard you had diabetes I didn't cry, I did the exact opposite, I smiled. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not happy that you got diabetes but I am just glad that out of all the people you'd get it because you can handle it. I am also 15 and have had type 1 diabetes for 5 years now and am currently on the cozmo pump. It doesn't seem that long though, probably because 5 years isn't that long really. I don't like when people say they feel sorry for us because there is nothing to feel sorry for. I know they only say this because they just simply don't understand and I don't blame them. Of course I am a fan of your music but don't worry, I am not an obssesed fan that makes power points about you or leaves you weird messages on your MySpace(although I must say they are very entertaining to listen to). I don't even have a MySpace(you don't hear that a lot). I think of diabetes more as a blessing than a curse and I am not ashamed of being diabetic and never have been. It is just another facet of my life that I actually enjoy talking about. I have not been able to see you in concert because it has been very hard to get tickets, but I am determined to see you one day. Anyways, I wish you all the best and God bless you and your family.
nick jonas is so amazing

UR CUTE
Hey Nick!
Well I personally don't have any kind of diabetes but I do have 2 family members and a few friends that do and they think that your absolutely right about just having to keep moving forward and never let it get you down.
God has obviously given you diabetes for a reson and it's up to you to be an examle to others on how you respond - especially because of the position that you are in. And I think that you have responded just the way he would have wanted you to. Just keep doing what you are doing and just don't let it get you down because it's like you said- " I think I see a rainbow from behind the clouds And I hear you now, dear God"
love,
-a friend
P.S. (i think you have an awesome voice!)
Nick,
I just wanted to say that you were really brave to tell everyone that!
love,
your #1 Fan
P.S. You're super HOT!

I hope ypu get to read this. I will ALWAYS be a fan no matter what happens to you, the band, or Joe and Kevin(or Frankie). You guys are THE best!!!!!!!!!!!

Elizabeth
So sad. Nick ia the best!
I have been a fan of the Jonas Brothers for about a year now and, i keep hearing this story over and over, but it NEVER gets old. it's actually really inspiring because, i was diagnosed with diabetes about 2 weeks ago and, he just really inspired me because, he doesn't let it slow him down AT ALL! he just keeps going. and, if he can do concerts, tour, do a T.V. show AND, a movie, then I can get through it. that's why Nick Jonas is my hero!
i have diabetes u lose weight so fast and i hate the injections
Heyaaah nick...

Hey Nick. Im Emma.. and I dont have diabetes, but I definantly know how you felt. This little boy that I babysat had diabetes.. Um, I think.. Oliver was his name, and I just wanted to thank you. You are such an insperation. Yours and your brothers music have gotten me through tough times-- from my grandma dieing to wanting to quit choir because it was"hard". Thank you so much for being so gifted. You are definantly a girf from God.
God Bless you and your family,
Emma from Colorado
Nick, just a couple days ago, I was diagnosed as a diabectic.I'm really scared. I don't know whats going to happen, and i don't know what to expect. My friend told me that you had diabetes. So I got on the net and resurched you and found this. I think you are so brave for still making music in spite of your situation. And, as a diabectic myself, I now know from your example that I can still do the things I want to. Thank you so much. I am so thankful for you. :)
-your biggest fan!
Nick, you are a really strong person. the last time we went to the doctors she gave my brothers and I a test to see if we had diabetes and I praise GOD that none of us did; escpecially my 7-year old little brother. He really eats too much junk and my whole family was sooooo scared that he was going to get diabetes. But the GOOD LORD decided to spare his misery and his life!
I am soooooooo shocked that you're able to express your feelings like the way you did in this story,because most people wouldn't. You showed true strenghth by revealing your story and everyone who reads this will be extremeley proud of you; i mean look at all the comments you have! WE LOVE YOU and hope you live a LONG HEALTHY LIFE!!!!
LOVE YOUR BIGGEST FAN,
MARAKY
P.S. YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOOO HOT........... MAY GOD BE WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE YA PEACE!!!!!!!!!
Nick you are the best. My dad has diabetes to. And i am really scared that he might die. You are just a great person to tell the whole story. I love you!!
lOVE,
your biggest fan in the world!! I am 15 too!!!
nick u r d best..my dad has diabetes 2...im a big fan of urs..
Happy Turkey Day Nick, Joe, & Kevin! Cant wait to see ya'll again!!!
I've been a type 1 diabetic for 10 years, and it still amazes me how ignorant people are about this disease, and that goes for some of the stuff that's been said in some of these comments, it makes me feel better knowing that there are other people out there going through what I do, hopefully Nick can raise awareness for type 1 diabetes and this can all bring diabetics everywhere closer.
me 2 !!!!!!!!
also a type 1 diabetic!
i love nick jonas
Nick you are awesome! I love the Jonas Brothers soooooo much! Everytime i see you in t.v. i get so excited! Just ask my three brothers! You are so strong! In school we have to do a report on one of our favorite people and i'm doing mine on how you are so awesome with your diabetes. I love you! I wish i could meet you cuz you seem like a really cool guy to be friends with.
hi nick. I am so sorry about you having diabetes . I still like your band and i think you are soooooooooooo cutee!!!!!! well got to go and god bless you
Dear,Nick I feel sorry for you. I hpoe i can meet you one day. I love you and your brothers.
i think you are so cool. my dream has been to meet you.i didn't know 'til 2 weeks ago you had diabetes. my friend has diabetes so i sort of know what it is. i also read books about a girl who had diabetes. hang in there!!
Nick,
I don't have diabetes but i know its hard for people who do have it alots of people in my family do so i could get it i don't want to have and when the doctor told me i could have it me and my family were very scared i didn't know what to do i didn't want to tell my friends because i would just feel like a different person and i know they would nt treat me the same as they do. I know alot of people that do have it and when they like come to school late and we'll joke with them saying like where were you playing hooky and their like no i was at the hospital really late last night and i'll ask them why whats wrong and they'll say they had a problem with their diabetes i am always like are you ok is their something wrong. And they sometimes they'll say i am like the only friends of theirs that cares about them. And what you tell people it helps alot of young people to see all that you do that your diabeted doesn't stop you and that it shouldn't stop them either! So i just wanted to say thanks for helping alot of people with diabetes and even people who don't have it deal with it!
Thank You Nick!
Breanna
Hey nick,
I have type 1 juvenile diabetes also. I was diagnosed November 2006. YOu have a big impact on me not just because I'm a 14 year old girl and your a guy but because I've always wanted to be an actress, but I thought that my diabetes would hold me back. Since I figured out that you, Nick Jonas, has diabetes my hopes raised a little higher.
Thanx, you rock! Say hi to Kevin and Joe for me.
Love,
Cindie

Nick,
I am amazed at how you took this situation and made a positive effect on young people with diabetes. I pray that God keeps using you in miraculous ways, as He has done up till now. You and your family will always be in my prayers. I am 15 and a lot of my family has diabetes, I am not one of them. You have shown a positive attitude for someone your age. Stay strong, I will always be praying for you.
Nick,
God Bless You and your family always!!!
Nick,
I am amazed at how you turned this situation, and made it good. By that i mean that you knew how to respond to it. For a person your age, you sound very mature in the way you spoke about diabetes. I am 15 and a lot of people in my family have diabetes. I know it is hard for them, so it must be hard for you since you are on tour. I pray that God keeps using you in the way he has been up until now. You and your family will always be in my prayers.
God Bless,
Day Castro
I DON'T HAVE DIABETES BUT A FEW PWOPLE IN MY FAMILY DO AND YOU MAKE ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT IT.

Nick,
I think you are so brave to deal with diabetes. I dont know anyone that has diabetes but I know that you should always have hope and never give up on yourself or on anything else no mater what anyone says, just keep confident and you know you'll never lose. Nick I really wish i could meet you, I would put my email on here but i dont want other people emailing me. NIck you are my hero and i just wanted to let you know that you inspired me to play the guitar, I'm going to start soon. I think you are the best. Hopefully i get to meet you soon somehow.

Rock and Roll, cutie! :)

Hey Nick,
One day I saw your music video for S.O.S on the disney channel and thought it was amazing. So I decided to find out what the Jonas Brothers were all about. The first link that came up on google was a video of you on March 11th telling your fans about your diabetes. It truly inspired me, someone who has to deal with that and is still able to do what they love and doesnt let it get in their way is so amazing. Ever since I saw that video I became a huge fan and now I know so much about all 4 of you (Frankie). I know all about how you guys started up until what your doing now. (A big thanx to my computer). Then I decided to buy your Jonas Brothers cd (Bonus Jonas Edition). I absoloutley loved your music especially since I could relate so much to it. It inspired me to start writing my own songs too. So whenever I have a rough day or a tegular day I'll always listen yo your music or watch a funny video of you guys to make me laugh. So thank you for everything you've done. Keep writing and singing!
Thanx,
Nicole
Sorry i meant to say a regualar day not tegular.:}

This article was inspirational!! I have a close friend with diabetes and always wondered what exactly it was.She explained to me but this has helped a lot too!! Nick hasn't let diabetes slow him down so others shouldn't either thanks Nick we really appreciate it!!
Thanks,
Colleen

just incase you see this nick i have been a big fan of your like forever and i just found out that you had diabetes this is realy wierd for me but i actualy cryed even tho i dont know you its sad thatsome one with great looks and tallent and ect gose threw what you do even with you band life i will always be afan you changed my life in a good way and im sure all your fans feel the same way
I love you Nick. I saw you had diabetes the other day on the internet. I also know someone about your age(mine too!) that has diabetes. I was thinking to myself, and said if Diabetes was a person, I'd kick diabetes butt!
Also, Nick, I hope they find a cure for diabetes! I hate it, nd my dad had it, he passed away last year, but he pretended he didn't have it, but its not what he died of, though it might of been part of it
Bye Nick! You're the best Jonas Brother!
hey i am a big fan keep on fighten !!!!
I will never said that infornt of all those people Nick your a brave person
dear nick,
i know your probably not gonna read this because you have so many other fans and your'e so busy but im gonna try anyway. first off i really wanted to let you know that your'e my HERO. i look up to you in so many ways : your talent, your kindess, your inspiration... like yeah, im one of those crazed fans but not just because of the many reasons most crazy girls are. i can imagine how hard it must be for you, juggling your career and this burden. my grandmother has diabetes too and its difficult because she has to watch what she eats and when and all that. seriously, how do you do it? well anyway, i just wanted to make sure you knew how amazing you are, gorgeous looks, great talent, sweet and an inspiration to everyone. i hope one day, i'll be one of those lucky people that gets to meet the one and only nick jonas, its the one goal i've set for myself before i die. there are so many other things i could have put in here, like how much i absoltuly love you, but so little space. so with these few words i hope ive gotten out as much as possible.
youres whenever you want :],
savannah
heyy nick i almost forgot, since its christmas my one prayer was for you to live the long healthy life you deserve. and hopefully there will be a cure for diabetes soon.
your in my heart,
savannah

I don't have diabetes, but I woudn't mind having it that much you made it sound so easy and that it didn't bother you too much. You are very amazing. I just wanted to say thanks and have a great life. Good bye Nick Jonas.
I Have Diabetes and i LOVE nick. I am future mrs. Nick Jonas
Nick, you are the love of my life, and, my hero!!! You have let me believe in myself, and you've taught to always keep it positive, and to always chase my dream. I wrote an essay for a high-school app, about you, and how you found out that you had Diabetes,and that you made a promise to yourself to never give up,and how you have inspired me so much!!! Thank you for everything!!!
Wow I have type 1 too, that makes me feel alot better about having it now!
Okey, I wanna say that a have been a fan of you and your brothers for like ever, and that i have had diabeties for 8 years. I always had a hard time keeping my sugar under controll, but it is getting easier....I'v decided to dedicate my life to find a cure for diabeties....manley for you*blush*.
I always thought that there was vary limited things I could do with my life, but you have proved me wrong by doing all that you do!

Okey, I feel like saying more..
I'v had this for 8 years since I was 5( i'm 13) it was hard to dill with at such a young age. My dad has it, my great-grand dad, and sevrle uncals amd aunts have it and a bunch of kids at my middle school have it. I also found out that you had it from YouTube, and I couldn't stop crying*blush* 'cos nobody deserves it, especely not you...and i can't tell if my surgar is high or low, so i have to check 10-12 times a day and take 4 shots but if it is really high i take extra. I would put my e-mail on here or phone # but...i don't know if you'll even read this...I also want to say that you are my hero for soooo many resons and that i would love to meet you someday and become friends.I think we would be great friends 'cos we have soooo much in common! Not just diebeties...
lots more love-
Ashley(someday) Jonas
