Nick Jonas' Emotional Letter Reveals His Complex Relationship with Diabetes

Nick Jonas is reflecting on navigating diabetes more than two decades after receiving his diagnosis.

“It’s funny how often we talk,” Jonas, 34, wrote in an open letter as part of Dexcom’s A Letter to Diabetes initiative. “Staring at my phone to see where my glucose is. Reaching for my pump to bolus because I’m about to eat something with 17 carbs. Those are just a couple of the hundreds of little decisions I make every week.”

He continued, “Most people never notice them. But they add up to a real relationship, because that’s what diabetes is. It’s an ongoing conversation between your body, your mind and your devices.”
