Nick Jonas Testifies About His Type 1 Diabetes

June 25, 2009 | by Disney Dreaming

Nick Jonas met with Congress in the United States yesterday to speak on behalf of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and talked about the need for federal funding for Type 1 Diabetes. He even said, “My life depends on it. All our lives depend on it.”

Nick also told the committee about traveling with the Jonas Brothers on tour and the hardship he is caused by living with Type 1 Diabetes. He also took the time to quote from a popular JoBro song, “A Little Bit Longer,” saying “With the help of Congress, I’ll only have to wait a little bit longer for a cure.”

Rumor has it that Nick brought out a packed courtroom, with numerous media and fans lining the walls to get a look at him during his speech. Even if Congress does not approve the bill to fund research for Type 1 Diabetes, Nick Jonas is still doing his part to raise awareness for the illness and we commend him for that.
