Bizarre Reason Why Priyanka Chopra Has to Check up on Nick Jonas All Night

Of the many celebrity couples, the Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra union is among those that arouse public interest to a higher extent. We’ve been keeping up with them since their first public appearance, although they insist that they were just friends back then.

Just seeing them together was enough to get the rumor mill going, but they soon confirmed that they were dating. It wasn’t long before they were engaged, and come December 2018, they were the newest married couple in town.

Heavenly Life

Marriage life has been heavenly thus far, with the couple even having been on the hunt for a bigger house, prompting the masses to speculate that they’re planning to have kids. They are still very much in love, and Chopra says that her husband inspires her every single day.

Did you know that Jonas lives with diabetes Type 1? This is a chronic illness where your pancreas produces a decreased amount of insulin or none at all. As such, the singer has to always be on medication to maintain optimum health, and Chopra admits that he’s very disciplined when it comes to taking his meds.

Chopra is still learning about her husband’s condition

In an interview with The View, the actress revealed that when they got married, she just couldn’t understand how he seemed to magically know when his blood glucose level was acting up. Although she has accepted the fact that he has that sixth sense, Chopra admits that she’s still learning what it takes for Jonas to live with a chronic illness.

Understandably, it took the Quantico star a while to get used to Jonas’ illness, revealing that she kept waking up at night just to check on him. With time though, she figured that he’s got it covered, and why wouldn’t he? Diabetes Type 1 typically presents itself in adolescence and Jonas was diagnosed aged just 13.

What inspires Priyanka about her husband the most is the fact that he hasn’t let his condition limit him. He lives life to the fullest, restricting himself from nothing. There’s his music career which speaks volumes about the man that he is, but there’s also his love for sports that his wife talks of. He exerts himself physically whenever he can, all while still taking care of himself.

Creating Awareness

Jonas is quite keen on creating awareness on this specific type of diabetes, starting a foundation to that effect. Dubbed Beyond Type 1, its primary goal is to let people living with the diagnosis that the condition doesn’t have to negatively impact on their life. They can still enjoy everything the world has to offer, and if the singer is doing it, why can’t they?

Now aged 27, Nick Jonas knows everything there is to know about his condition. However, it wasn’t always like this. The 13-year-old boy was wary of what the diagnosis meant for him. He couldn’t fathom how he’d lead a normal life while having to rely on insulin injections.

Talking to Cigar Aficionado, the singer admitted that he was scared, and kept asking his parents if he would ever be okay. With time though, he found out that diabetes is manageable, but only if you are very disciplined.
