Nick Jonas Pens Emotional Open Letter on 21 Years Living With Diabetes

MUMBAI: American singer Nick Jonas, husband of Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra, has made emotional revelations about his 21-year struggle with diabetes.

As part of a diabetes awareness campaign, Nick Jonas wrote an open letter to his condition, in which he described the difficulties he faces in everyday life.

The singer said that in November 2005, when he was just 13 years old, he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. He has to check his blood sugar constantly and keep track of how much insulin he needs before eating.

Nick Jonas admitted that he sometimes wonders what his life would have been like without the condition, and that meeting others living with diabetes has given him a sense of belonging.

He said he shares his story so that children living with the disease do not feel alone and have the courage to pursue their dreams.
