Jonas Brothers Update: Diabetes Has Not Slowed Down 15-Year-Old Nick Jonas
When we ran the story “Type 1 Pop Star Nick Jonas Tells His Story” on our website in April 2007, we didn’t expect it to generate the hundreds of responses that it has since then. The story continues to receive new comments every week.
Nick and his brothers Kevin and Joe just signed a deal with the Disney Channel to star as themselves in a reality program tentatively titled “Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream.” The show will follow the trio around on their current “Look Me in the Eyes” tour, covering their lives on and off the stage.
In late March, the boys visited the White House to give an assist at the annual Easter Egg Roll. The hunt, a tradition since 1878, draws children from all over the country to roam the White House’s South Lawn seeking colorful hidden wooden eggs.
While there, the brothers met President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush. The President not only complimented Joe Jonas’s shoes but also revealed that he’s a fan of the teen trio.
Later, when asked if being invited to the White House would go to the Jonas Brothers’ heads, Joe pointed out that the three siblings are still expected to do routine chores on their tour bus.
In June, Disney will air “Camp Rock,” a TV movie featuring the brothers. On July 4, the Jonases will kick off their summer “Burning Up” tour in Toronto.

I almost died from my diabeties. It was pretty bad. I didnt know i had until i went into a coma because my blood sugar count was past 500. I was 10 years old and now i'm 16. I was in a coma for 1 year. It was a miracle that i made it through. I thank God I'm still alive.

*BlueHearts* & *HeartBreakers* TM
I know and Nick is HOT!!!!
Nick is so brave and dreamy
Nick inspires me SO much. Even though I don't have Diabetes, I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease a year and half ago, and I know what it feels like to want to give up. I didn't and don't have the strength that Nick does- he gets up on stage every single night with his brothers and gives his all. I pray for Nick every night- let's find a cure! Thanks for being my hero, Nick. I'll see you at the wedding :)
KEEP ON FIGHTING NICK JONAS I LOVE YOU NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nick J is so strong!!!! I mean , could you get up every night and sing for an hour? i think not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great story great comments
Nick does really inspire me. If a life changing event like this happened to me, I wouldn't know what to do. I'd feel like my goals and dreams were useless because my diabetes would be slowing me down. But Nick showed me that no matter what happens to you, continue to follow your dreams. Don't let it slow you down. Nick, your my hero. Thankyou so much for being such a great roll model! Also, Thanks Joe and Kevin for showing me that no matter what, family is always there for you. Through thick and through thin. You brothers are truley amazing. Love you guys!
I have diabetes. If I knew he acted like he did,I would have acted the same way. You are a very brave boy Nick. I hope you have a happy life.
I think you are brave to be singer with diabetes just like Elton Yasmin.
