Teen Pop Sensation and Diabetics’ Spokesperson: Nick Jonas
One of the famous brothers of Jonas brothers Nick Jonas was not definitely trying to become famous for type 1 diabetes. But unfortunately he became famous for that. He took the center stage of fame at an young age of 17. Apart from his doctors, his fans are also very concerned about his health as he is affected by diabetes. And this has brought diabetes to the from page of pop culture.
Finding Out
He only started to notice symptoms of diabetes at 2005. Through out his childhood Nick Jonas was a healthy child. He got symptoms like weight loss, thirst and less appetite these symptoms are very new to him. He said this “was totally odd for me because I’m actually a nice person. And it was hard.” During a tour he lost weight dramatically and it made him to go to a physician. During examination it is found that he is suffering from type 1 diabetes and he was immediately admitted in a hospital as his blood sugar was over 700.
Adjusting to Diabetes
He was thinking that he will ever perform on stage ever. Nick Jonas was devastated. But to everyone’s surprise he performed on stage the same day he got discharged from the hospital. On a regular basis he is injected with insulin and checked his blood glucose level for 12 times a day. Then he was introduced to Omnipod by insulet after an year. He describes that it is awesome and he says he is not adhering to any special diet, he just takes enough insulin for what he eats.
Saving Others
Nick Jonas has said that since his diagnosis, he has wanted to go public with his diabetes. He feels that he has an obviously very public platform that he can use to help others. While he did wait until he felt comfortable managing his diabetes, he has recently been very open as a diabetic, even testing his insulin in public – amidst the flash of the paparazzi. Nick hopes to be a glimmer of hope and light for young people everywhere, newly diagnosed or long-living with diabetes.
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.” While Nick has not publicly acknowledged his use of supplemental health care options, he has made one thing very clear – a positive attitude can go a long way. There is little doubt that the optimism- perhaps the most natural treatment of all – he demonstrates on stage and in his young life translates to better health.
