Nick Jonas, 27, is speaking out about living as a diabetic. “14 years ago this month I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes,” Nick captioned a selfie on his Instagram account on Friday, Nov. 1. “This experience has shaped how I approach my health – working out, eating well, and always thinking about my blood sugar and insulin needs. You can’t always see what goes into managing an invisible illness, and Type 1 diabetes can feel lonely and isolating,” he continued.
The “Sucker” singer was inspired to co-found a not-for-profit organization aimed at changing what it means to live with a chronic illness. “That’s why I co-founded @BeyondType1 in 2015, to make sure no one feels alone with this diagnosis and to share how you can thrive with Type 1 diabetes,” Nick added to his post. “November is Diabetes Awareness Month – join us at Beyond Type 1 by sharing how diabetes has impacted your life using #TheDropSpotted. I’m so grateful to my fans for your support and kindness!”
