On March 11, 2007 Nick Jonas made an announcement that he suffers from type 1 diabetes. Now it's one year later and look how far he has come. He is an inspiration to kids all over the world. He is a person that people can look up to as a role model. He admits that it's hard to have diabetes but he doesn't let it slow him down. "I made a commitment with myself that night when I found out. I wasn't gonna let it slow me down. I was just gonna keep moving on." He is so inspirational. It's hard not to love him. He said that before he found out that he had weighed 115 pounds and then lost 15 pounds in two weeks. He had been drinking over 30 bottles of water a day and had a bad attitude with everyone and everything. He had taken his shirt off and his mother had said that "he looked like a prisoner of war." The whole family was scared. Nick had an emotional breakdown because he didn't know what diabetes was. On DLife Kevin said, "I think, for him, he always knew he had something special in his life. So this is gonna be an opportunity to really help a lot of people." I am so proud of him for how far he's come. I'm glad to know that this won't stop him. There's nothing that can or will stop him.
