DO you even understand what people with this disease have to go threw?Its so diffuclut not knowing if you will ACTULLY MAKE IT OR NOT.This 16 year old kid is trying to save EVERYONE with diabetes by pouring out his hear and trying to raise more money for it, if you didnt even tear up when he was saying his speech then you are just a messed up peron.It takes a lot of guts to do what this boy does and i bet NONE of you would be able to do it.

brandy brandy said:

Every one saying that diabetes isn't a serious disease and they should worry about cancer or aids, you have to see something. Nick is living with diabetes, so its very close to his heart. Diabetes isn't a small disease, its one of the top ten killer diseases in men and women. My grandmother, my mother, and my sister all have type 1 diabetes. Its not as easy as you think. It physically brings you down almost all the time. For my sister to have a good day her sugar has to be perfect. Having the lows makes her miss school, miss tests, and just in general miss out.

yes its manageable, but its not easy, and should not be taken lightly. Nick is an inspiration to me for getting people to revisit the idea of finding a cure. I might become a diabetic, my children might become diabetics, YOUR children might become diabetics. Its about time we find a cure for it. So many people suffer from it, we just need to let it become more aware. And i commend nick for helping.

Jasmyne Jasmyne said:

what is wrong with everyone trying to bring him down?
i bet diabetes is much worse than everyone thinks it is.
just imagine pricking your finger twelve times a day?
or not having sugary foods?
you guys should appreciate what you have and please stop trying to bring him down just because he is doing what he believes is right.
he is such an inspiration and i cannot believe he is only 16 but us kids could do amazing things too.
you guys that are insulting him need to leave and deserve diabetes than nick.
as they always say, 'if you have nothing good to say, don't say it at all'.
yeah, that goes to you guys.
i love nick for doing this.
this takes dedication.
something a lot of people don't have.

die you bitch for spamming.your dad's gonna rape you and sell you to the local pimp

how much publicity does this manwhore needs

kimmy4 kimmy4 said:

Good morning. My name is Nick Jonas, and I’d like to thank you for having me here today. I’d like to share my story of living with type 1 diabetes, and talk about the need to fund research to find a cure.

First, I would like to thank you, Senator Collins, for chairing this hearing and for being such a champion for all of us with diabetes. Everyone here today for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Children’s Congress is grateful for your leadership on the Senate Diabetes Caucus and your commitment to people with type 1 diabetes. We are lucky to have you pushing for policies that will bring us closer to a cure.

In one way, or another I have spent most of my life performing. I’ve been writing songs since I can remember, and I love sharing my passion for music. As a little kid, I sang in the choir in my dad’s church, and then performed on Broadway. As the Jonas Brothers, my brothers Joe, Kevin and I have written songs, made albums and toured the country, playing our music for people all over America.

It was during a concert tour in 2005 that I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. My brothers were the first to notice that I had lost a lot of weight – fifteen pounds in two weeks. I was thirsty all the time and had a bad attitude, which isn’t like me at all because I’m a really positive person. It would have been easy to blame my symptoms on a hectic schedule. But my family knew I had to get to a doctor.

The normal range for blood sugar is between 70 and 120. When we got to the doctor’s office, we learned that my blood sugar was over 700. The doctor said I had type 1 diabetes, but I had no idea what that meant. The first thing I asked her was, “Am I going to die?” She assured me that I wasn’t going to die, but that I’d have to manage this disease for the rest of my life. We went right to the hospital where I spent three days, including a crash course in getting my blood glucose levels in control and living with diabetes.

It hasn’t been easy, but diabetes technology has really helped me to manage my diabetes. At first, I took insulin shots, but it was just too hard on the road to give myself shots. I switched to a pump, which has been great. Since then, my average blood glucose levels have come down, and I’m able to use the pump to better estimate how much insulin I need based on the carbs I eat. I am also considering a continuous glucose monitor, but for now, I still prick my finger to check my blood sugar. I do that up to 12 times a day, including right before I began this testimony.

While technology has made it much easier for me to manage my diabetes, technology is not a cure. Insulin is not a cure. Like everyone here today, I know that the promise of a cure lies only in research. I am grateful that Congress renewed the Special Diabetes Program last year, which has helped researchers make important discoveries into what causes type 1 diabetes. This vital program has also funded research to test new drugs and therapies that could treat or cure patients with type 1 diabetes, and may even lead to an artificial pancreas one day. I ask that each of you join me in supporting the renewal of the Special Diabetes Program next year so that the researchers can continue their work on a cure for our disease. My life depends on it. All our lives depend on it.

After I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, I wrote a song called A Little Bit Longer about dealing with diabetes. I’d like to submit a copy of the full song for the record, but I’d like to read one of the verses, which explains my outlook on life with diabetes:

All this time goes by
Still no reason why
A little bit longer
And I’ll be fine
Waitin’ on a cure
But none of them are sure
A little bit longer
And I’ll be fine

Diabetes has changed my life. But I know that I’ve benefited from the government’s investment in diabetes research. With the help of Congress, I’ll only have to wait a little bit longer for a cure.

In the meantime, I’ve decided not to let diabetes slow me down. In just the last two months, my brothers and I launched a new TV show, released our third album and began a world concert tour. My approach to managing diabetes is to focus on simple wins — little things I can do each day to achieve my goals. Over time, these everyday victories can make a big difference in your life — just like every research advancement moves us along on our path to a cure. While on that path, I want to be a positive face for diabetes. I want to show kids with type 1 diabetes – like all the kids sitting with me today – that they can live with diabetes and still make their dreams come true.

Thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today, and thank you for your commitment to diabetes research. With your help, a little bit longer and we will all be fine.

Everyone who is saying bad things about him right now, you are terrible people. Diabetes isn't something that anyone should take lightly it's a horrible disease. Nick and millions of other peoples lives most likely will be shortened at least ten years. As for nick managing his disease and continuing down his career path must be one of the hardest things in the world. But he dies for himself, his family, and his friends. But most of all he does it for all of us
Nick is a wonderful person and one of my biggest heros

TooLegitToQuit TooLegitToQuit said:

really, really good speech.

however, i think it would have been a LOT more powerful if he didn't read right off the sheet the whole time.

i love that he's doing this, but speaking from someone who's taken MANY public speaking classes in preparation to go into communications or public relations, a really effective speech is one spoken from the heart with a lot off pathos.

i wanna know who wrote that speech though, because it was awesome. if he wrote it, MAJOR PROPS to him. and if not, kudos to whoever did write it. i don't think it was him though just for the simple fact that at times he looked uncomfortable reading it, almost as if he was unfamiliar.

like i said, great speech for a great cause though.
anybody publicly taking actions to cure diabetes (or any disease for that matter) is pretty amazing in my book :]

p.s. i know this has happened before:
no haters talk about how you can't die from diabetes. diabetes IS technically a terminal illness; my uncle has it, and i have like three friends whose dads are doctors.
it IS a terminal illness and you almost always end up dying from a diabetes related problem if you have it.

so now disrespect towards the disease please :]

I loved his speech, i would've been to nervous to talk in front of all those people but I think he did a wonderful job :) Way to go Nick! I love you! You're my hero and you've taught me so many great lessons in life even if I don't have diabetes. You are an amazing, talented, thoughtful, respectful person and don't listen to all the negative comments toward you, keep on rockin!

Dear Nicholas Jerry Jonas, you are my hero and inspiration. That speech you said today had me nearly in tears and chills going up my spine. My grandfather has diabetes and I watch him take his blood level all the time, same with my bestfriend! Your words are so powerful, were all so proud.

PS. Miley is proud too! :)

First of all - to all of you pieces of shit saying such horrible things: one word - KARMA.

For the rest of us, I hope this helps to point out what a truly remarkable young man Nick is. He IS sick; and struggles with this disease every.single.day. But, like he said, he refuses to let it slow him down. I think he is a profile in courage and I have such respect for him.

Miley better be proud of her man or BFF

Just an FYI - Mary Tyler Moore also read from her notes. Which I found surprising because, being an actress, I would have thought she could have memorized most of it.

I wonder if Miley watched it.

exactly.
i don't get why people would wish that one someone! wait till something bad happens to them or a family member, then they shall be humbled and see how bad it really is :(

but just like nick said, it's SO hard to manage diabetes.
my uncle has it bad, and in the past month has been to the hospital TWICE because his blood sugar was in the 700's.

there are so many things more than just low or high blood sugar.
i have hypoglycemia (miley fans should know what this is; it's chronic low blood sugar) and that's hard enough to manage!
i can't even imagine trying to manage both low AND high blood sugars!

plusss, there's so many things that come with it: always being cold, loss of limbs, and some other, very unfortunate (and somewhat awkward) things that i really don't care to mention.

but really, diabetes is serious.
good for nick for speaking up about it!
