Speaking in an interview with Beyond Type 1 this Wednesday, the singer-actor shed light on his 16-year long struggle with the disease.

"Today resonates with me personally because it's the 16th anniversary of my diagnosis. I was thirteen, "I was devastated - frightened... Did this mean my dream of touring the world and playing our music had to end?" Nick Jonas' video comes in honor of National Diabetes Month.

Reacting to singer's post, father Kevin Jonas commented: "We will never forget that day. You inspire us all. Love you."
