Stories of Change - Genetics of Diabetes

Genetics of Diabetes

My name is Sylvia and my grandmother has diabetes. It's really hard because my family and I have to try everything not to get diabetes. I try everything, but the doctors say (and also the nurse at school)say I may be diagnosed with diabetes. I really appreciate what Nicholas Jonas has done because he has shown me that you don't have to be afraid to do something you love. He said "Diabetes helped me, it didn't stop me." When he speaks its profound and true, there is nothing else I can say about Nicholas Jonas because he is a BELIEVER!!!!!!
