The fact that Nick Jonas is a Type 1 diabetes patient has surfaced across the media quite a number of times, with the singer coming out in the open about facing the health issue since the age of thirteen. Although Nick leaves no stone unturned to break the mould and life to the fullest, he makes sure to maintain a proper regime, keeping the dos and don'ts in mind. Appreciating this quality of his, Nick's actress wife Priyanka Chopra Jonas, during an interview with an International publication for her upcoming film The Sky Is Pink, spoke about his health issues and said she would wake up in the middle of the night to check on Nick's health.

"Initially, when we first got married, I couldn't wrap my brain around the fact that he knew when his sugar dropped, even when he was sleeping. He has this crazy discipline. He feels it. I used to wake up in the middle of the night to just check if everything's okay for a really long time," Priyanka told.

13 years ago today I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The picture on the left is me a few weeks after my diagnosis. Barely 100 pounds after having lost so much weight from my blood sugar being so high before going to the doctor where I would find out I was diabetic. On the right is me now. Happy and healthy. Prioritizing my physical health, working out and eating healthy and keeping my blood sugar in check. I have full control of my day to day life with this disease, and I’m so grateful to my family and loved ones who have helped me every step of the way. Never let anything hold you back from living your best life. Thank you to all my fans for your kind words and support. Means more than you know. Love you all. #grateful #diabetes #livebeyond #fbf

“He has been taking care of his diabetes since he was so young that he just has a crazy discipline about it. He knows exactly what to do, when to do it. He lives the biggest life possible. He’s not restricted himself from anything. He plays sports, he’s touring — he lives an incredible life. It’s so inspiring to see. When he started Beyond Type 1, his foundation, that’s what he wanted to show people. Even if you have Type 1 diabetes doesn’t mean that your life has to be different. You can live it to its fullest. It’s so inspiring to me," Priyanka added.
