It’s been 13 years since Nick Jonas was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and the singer has opened up about his condition on social media.
The 26-year-old posted a side-by-side photo of himself on Instagram – one of himself just weeks after his diagnosis and one from the present day.
“13 years ago today I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The picture on the left is me a few weeks after my diagnosis. Barely 100 pounds after having lost so much weight from my blood sugar being so high before going to the doctor where I would find out I was diabetic,” he wrote.
He also went on to reveal how he is now living with the condition.
“On the right is me now. Happy and healthy. Prioritizing my physical health, working out and eating healthy and keeping my blood sugar in check. I have full control of my day to day life with this disease, and I’m so grateful to my family and loved ones who have helped me every step of the way. Never let anything hold you back from living your best life. Thank you to all my fans for your kind words and support. Means more than you know. Love you all.”
Nick’s fiancé Priyanka Chopra commented her support on his post.
“Everything about you is special. With or without diabetes,” she wrote.
We stan Nick for using his platform to discuss such an important topic!
