För 6 år sen idag gick Nick ut med att han hade diabetes. Sen dess har han jobbat grymt mkt för att öka medvetenheten om diabetes och inspirerat tusentals över hela världen, inte bara dom som har diabetes utan även dom som inte har det. Hans låt "A Little Bit Longer" skrev han om sin diabetes. Han är en hjälte för många, just för att han inte lät sin diabetes stoppa honom utan han fortsatte mot sin dröm med Jonas Brothers och allt annat han har velat göra.

 

''You know so often, we think we have each step figured out. And then when one thing doesn't go our way, we begin to question, we begin to fear what our next step will be. I had one of those moments when I got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. And although I feel like I’ve shared my story enough, there’s a moment in particular that I wanna share with you tonight. A moment that I don’t talk about very often. You usually hear me say positive things, that I’ve moved on, I’ve pressed on, I didn’t let it slow me down. But I've never talked about the moment when I feared what the future was, when I asked the question: I am gonna die? My doctor looked back at me and said: No, you’re gonna be alright. And from that point on, I made the commitment that I wouldn’t let it slow me down. And so when that moment comes for you, in your own circumstance, in your own life, promise me one thing: don't you ever, EVER, let it slow you down. Cause I believe in you, and I wanna thank you all for believing in me. Even when I had trouble believing in myself. So for that I say THANK YOU.''
