Nick Jonas Promotes Diabetes Care

Nick Jonas, now 17, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 13. Since he publicly announced his diagnosis, he has become widely recognized not only for his musical talents, but also for his efforts to inspire people with diabetes and give back to fans that inspire him.

Nick knows how important good diabetes management is and one of the ways he spreads that message is through his partnership with Bayer Diabetes Care.

“One of the things we’ve been so impressed with is how much people with diabetes are doing for their communities,” said Nick. “Bayer and I hope that through this contest we can call attention to them and thank people with diabetes who support and inspire others, whether it be through volunteering or fundraising.”

Since Bayer Diabetes Care and Nick joined forces in 2008 they have worked together to encourage people with diabetes to achieve Simple Wins, or small, everyday victories.

One of Nick’s Simple Wins is being able to give back to people with diabetes, which he does through The Jonas Brothers Change for the Children Foundation.

A new contest, “Give Back. Simply Win.” sponsored by Bayer Diabetes Care will shine a spotlight on people with diabetes who are making a difference in their local communities.

Three grand prize winners will meet international singing sensation Nick Jonas and Bayer will donate $5,000 to three not-for-profit charitable causes, one selected by each winner.
