Nick Jonas recently shared a post on his social media speaking about how one health issue resulted in him thinking that his whole career will be destroyed. The singer didn’t give up and here’s his story.
He said that in honor of National Diabetes Month, recalled what he went through when he was diagnosed with the disease at the age of 13 on this day 16 years ago in an Instagram post on Wednesday. The singer-actor, who has been dealing with diabetes for the past 16 years, wrote: “Today resonates with me personally because it’s the 16th anniversary of my diagnosis. He was thirteen, playing shows with his brothers… And he knew in his gut that something wasn’t right, so he went to his parents and told them he needed to see the doctor. After going over his symptoms, his pediatrician informed me that he had Type 1 diabetes. All the symptoms were in line with an undiagnosed Type 1” and added he was devastated – frightened… Did this mean his dream of touring the world and playing our music had to end?

He further said But he was committed, just like he always has been, to not letting it slow me down. There are tough days but he has an incredible support system he can rely on to help me push through and not be hard on myself when he’s feeling low.
Reacting to Nick Jonas’ post, his father Kevin Jonas commented: “We will never forget that day. You inspire us all. Love you.” Nick Jonas’ wife and actress Priyanka Chopra also dropped a heart eye and a clapping icon for him in the comments section.
