Way to go Nick Jonas! As we know Nick has type I diabetes. He is a great role model. He talks about his own diabetes, and the fact that he has to use an insulin pump. This was a letter in Diabetes Health, from a mother, Lesia Daniel, thanking Nick for talking about his diabetes.
Daniels got her daughter a ticket to see the Jonas Brothers in concert. As her daughter was getting ready for the concert, she pointed out how big her new jeans have gotten. They had just had the jeans for a few weeks. Her mother gave her, you better eat better lecture, which I have heard many times. Her daughter also was drinking a lot.
Her mother soon realized, while talking about Nick, that her daughter had the symptoms of diabetes. Leisa checked her blood a few times with her blood glucose meter, and she checked her daughter’s blood sugar.
It turned out that her daughter did have type I diabetes. Her mother thought, “Oh, my gosh, Nick Jonas saved my daughter from getting really sick. If he hadn’t spoken out about his diabetes I may have not thought about her symptoms until she had gotten really sick.”
The letter Lesia Daniel’s wrote was wonder. Hopefully one of these links will help you go to the letter.
