How Nick Jonas manages his type 1 diabetes

Q: After almost 20 years of management of your diabetes, have you under control now?

A: No. There are days when also above that you feel like you – eat well, measure your glucose, by bolving correctly and managing a basal rhythm – for any reason, your glucose still does not cooperate. It can be really frustrating, especially when it works on the upper side. There is the potential to become irritable or frustrated and to have a shorter fuse than you would normally.

Q: What do you do when it happens?

A: I try to remember that you should do your best so as not to be overwhelmed when these days arise, and you just have to prepare for it. I try to encourage others to do the same. You know you’re going to go through, and it’s going to go. Do your best and give yourself a little credit. I tend to really get into my head when I am irritable, and it can go to doubt.
