This week's Diabaddie of the Week: @nickjonas.
Diagnosed at 13. Blood sugar over 700. He could've hidden it. Instead he co-founded @beyondtype1 โ and started wearing his CGM on red carpets, in music videos, on album covers.
For every diabaddie who's clipped a pump to their jeans without flinching, thank you. ๐
