Nick Jonas, 'Diabetes Can Be Frustrating'

Nick Jonas featured in US News & World Report: To maintain this hectic pace, Jonas said he thinks about his blood sugar levels all the time & tests his blood sugar about 12 times a day. He has a blood sugar meter that allows him to..
Easily upload his readings to his doctor so that even if he’s on the road touring, he can get feedback on his diabetes management: It’s been a part of my life has turned out to be a blessing in some ways. I’ve been able to speak about it and hopefully bring a message of encouragement.
I’d be lying if I told you that there weren’t days that I wasn’t frustrated with being a diabetic. It’s definitely not something you ask for. There are moments when I think life would be a lot easier without it. But, then again, it’s part of my DNA at this point, and it’s given me an outlook on life that I think is very rare. When I was diagnosed, if we had waited two days, I could’ve been in a coma.
A week later, and I could’ve died, so I’m very thankful that I’ve lived to see all of this. No matter how independent a person you are, never be afraid to rely on your doctors and the people around you. your family and friends/ I wouldn’t have been able to do all of this without the support of the people around me.

how many times is he going to talk about this
Good lord, does he always have to bring this up? It's not even that big of a deal now. -_-
i feel like he said this 18676754 times SMH
Well, Okay then
I think i respect that he is a willing person to open up about having diabetes. I think he is very encouraging to others and inspiring. Its apart of his life and it is something that he is facing everyday. I know that everyone pretty much know his story but try and look at it differently, he is facing challenges everyday and I think a lot of people can relate to have someone in their family that has a dieases or even has diabetes. I just respect that his story is so encouraging and inspiring to so many. Always and Forever. :)
He take it with positive. it's a great thing, thta he don't let the diabites let him down.
Nick<3
Yes he can talk about this 12342256 times and as much as he wants to. Deal with it.
O STHU already! WHAT A WHINER!!!
no1curr
lol you guys are rude
Good lord, does he always have to bring this up? It's not even that big of a deal now. -_-
--------------
I'm not gonna say no offense because I don't give a damn, but seriously you and your sarcastic miley loving butt just hates on every Jonas post. And now, as a diabetic myself, I am going to tell you right now that if I were in his position, I would share about it all I can and that he gets ASKED to do these interviews.
O STHU already! WHAT A WHINER!!!
---------------
Whiner? Seriously, you break a leg and suddenly the whole word revolves around you at school and everyone signs your cast and you get to brag all about it but this kid could've died in 2 weeks from a UNCURABLE disease at 13 and you just called him a whiner?

Agreed.:)
I'm really getting sick and tired of a certain "user" here hating on every Jonas post. You people are so fucking lucky you don't have a disease. Nick gets asked about this in interviews. You all need to check yourselves. Fucking hypocrites.
Oh STFU. This kid has been close to fucking death. He can talk about it all he wants to because everytime he talks about it, he inspires more and more people. Nick is a good guy doing good in the world, while you dumbasses are sitting behind a computer bashing him about it. Screw off.

Anons got really pissed off, but at some point I agree with them. I hate how everybody always complains about Nick complaining about his diabetes....
Would the anons please hop off my back. If you guys are so upset at my comment, then why don't you yell at the other TWO anons that were saying it's not a big deal.
Whatever haters. Nick is doing good in the world, while you just complain and hate from behind your little computer. Get a life.

Why do some of you even care? If he talks about it he can. At least it isn't something stupid like your hair or the weather. If it bothers you so much, ignore it. It's not that hard. I bet you would have a different tune if you had the disease. Wow.

I was just about to say the same thing, ignorant people tbh.
I don't think he is trying to use it as a sympathy card. It's just one of the many important topics for health issues. I think just know that he is willing to tell his story many people can relate with having to deal with something everyday. I think its encouraging and inpsiring. I mean I can understand what you are saying but just try and look at it differently :) Always and Forever. :)

Please. It took guts for Nick to tell his story in the first place. A lot of people like to ignore the fact that they have a disease but Nick is trying to encourage them to speak up themselves and he's saying it's okay. Sure, Nick talks about his Diabetes a lot but since when does that become a negative thing? Plus it's not Nick's fault interviews ask him about it. He's not going to just not answer it for the haters sake. For God sakes, some of you should think before you comment.
