THE JONAS BROTHERS: DIABESTES SUCKS

Nick Jonas may not be interested in having sex with girls, but he is into diabetes awareness.

Today the youngest member of the Jonas Brothers established his role as a diabetes ambassador by launching a new partnership with Bayer Diabetes Care to provide young people and their families with the motivation and support they need to help simplify life with diabetes.

At a press conference today in New York City, Nick and Bayer kicked off their long-term partnership, with Bayer making an initial large donation to the Change for the Children Foundation (a Jonas Brothers organization) to support Nick’s goal of helping children with diabetes.

Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 13, Nick is passionate about sharing his personal story because he knows so many young people like him can feel alone and even embarrassed by the disease.

Says the 15-year-old survivor: “Nearly every day I hear from someone like me who says that I make them feel it’s OK to have diabetes and that’s really cool that I can do that. I know I’m lucky because I have a family that encourages me a lot. I want to give that same inspiration to other kids with diabetes.”

Ohmigod, couldn’t you just melt?

    I think that he just threw it out there to score sympathy points and get everyone’s attention. And don’t say that I am uncaring, as my Grandfather is diabetic.

    PS

    Mark my words, by 2010, no one will give a shit about the Jonas brothers.
