Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 108: Nick Jonas

When you started openly talking about diabetes, did people come up to you in the street and say, like, thank you?

Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 108: Nick Jonas

Well, I was diagnosed when I was 13.

Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 108: Nick Jonas

Right.

Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 108: Nick Jonas

And we had just really started touring and stuff, and I knew pretty quickly that I wanted to speak openly about it because when I was in the hospital, newly diagnosed, there really wasn't somebody that the nurses or doctors could be like, hey, this person's living with this disease and they're doing just fine.

Therapuss with Jake Shane

Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 108: Nick Jonas

Whatever platform I have at whatever stage, I'm just going to speak about this because there might be somebody, another 13-year-old kid in the hospital who needs a little encouragement that they're going to be okay.

Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 108: Nick Jonas

So, yeah, I've spoken about it forever, basically, and I've met some amazing people by being open about it.

Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 108: Nick Jonas

Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 108: Nick Jonas

Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 108: Nick Jonas

Yeah.

Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 108: Nick Jonas

Sorry, that was so awkward.

Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 108: Nick Jonas

I say that.

Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 108: Nick Jonas

I mean, a lot of people have it.

Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 108: Nick Jonas

My friend Tucker has it, you know, role model.

Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 108: Nick Jonas

Oh, yeah.
