he is SUCH an inspiration, so commited and mature, and he has handle so well this problem. He seriously is the best role model that someone can have, even if they have or not diabetes. I’m, as well as everyone else, so proud of him, and even when I think he can amaze me more, he does. He is the best and I’ll never get tired of sayin it. I LOVE NICK JONAS <3

i like nick and all… and i know the rolled up sleeves thing is like his signature look, but it just seems so unprofessional to do at a time like this. you are at a Senate hearing full of politicians and whatnot. roll down your sleeves! wear a tie! i mean hes looked more professional on the red carpet than this.

@DemiFan:

You know? this is just not for nick this thing about diabetes is for everyone who got diabetes. The testimony is like a step for them
to find a cure for it.

Nick is such a great role model. I love how he doesn’t let his diabetes bring him down. And that he lives his life to the fullest. He is a great insperation. i pray that one day they are able to find a cure for diabetes.

@DemiFan: Gosh would you shut up. I get that your sick about hearing him talk about his diabetes all the time. But what I dont get is if you have such a problem with what he’s talking about, why are you even on here!? Why are you griping for all the wrong reasons when he’s doing something for all the RIGHT reasons!?

Nick is a smart, inspirational young man who is a hero to many including me!!! Who shouldnt be judged for doing something right and helping others no matter how many times he may mention it. I will love and support Nick forever :D

Madi hate stupid ppl @ 9:35 pm on 06/24/2009

@DemiFan:

You’re stupid, no offence. Your whole family suffers from it, I get that, but what exactly do you think Nick is doing? He’s helping, not only himself but everyone. He wants to find a cure. If you’re so sick of it, there’s a very simple solution, even for you. STOP WATCHING! See? Simple and very, very helpful. *round of applause*
