It was the fall of 2005. The Jonas Brothers were on tour- and something was very wrong. Nick, who's normally outgoing, energetic and happy, wasn't acting like himself. In fact, he was acting mean.
"I started experiencing weight loss, a bad attitude- things that weren't me," Nick says. "So after the tour we went to the doctor and found out I had diabetes. The first thing I asked the doctor was if I was going to die. It was crazy!"
Nick spent three days in the hospital learning all about the disease, which occurs when your body can't regulate sugar. "It was hard. There were times when I just didn't want to have it," he says. Now he wears a device called the OmniPod to regulate his sugar. "It was a learning process," Nick says, but he wants his story to help others. "Once my family felt like we had it under control, we decided to tell the world!"
