He went on to add, “I know that diabetes can’t hold me back, and Dexcom G7 has been a huge part of my journey. Having access to my glucose levels right on my phone or Apple Watch*, along with the ability to share** this information directly with my family and team has transformed the way I manage diabetes. Dexcom CGM has empowered me with the knowledge I need to control my diabetes and accomplish more than my 13-year-old self ever dreamed possible."

Priyanka Chopra showed her love and support for Nick Jonas's post by dropping a heart-eyed emoji in the comments section. Back in 2023, Nick had been open about his diabetes management, highlighting how Priyanka is fully prepared to handle any emergencies related to his condition.

In an interview with aol.com, Nick Jonas shared his plans to educate their daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, about his diabetes. He explained that they want her to understand the condition and why her father sometimes needs a moment to himself when his blood sugar drops.

He had said, “There were several days after our daughter was home where I had low blood sugar. On the other hand, she needed a bottle or my attention for something, and it was a very new thing to experience." After careful consideration, Nick and Priyanka decided to explain diabetes to their daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas. They talked to her about why her father sometimes needs a moment to himself when his blood sugar drops. Nick expressed that normalizing these conversations "feels wonderful."
