Nick Jonas is opening up about his Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis. In honor of World Diabetes day, Jonas shared a new video to social media, in which he pointed to the four signs that led him to discover that he was living with the condition.

“The 4 signs I showed before I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes,” the text of the video read, before Jonas began pointing to the above-mentioned signs.
Set to Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger,” Jonas encouraged others experiencing similar symptoms to see the signs so they too can receive a diagnosis and the proper health care to manage and survive the condition.
“I had 4 signs that I was living with Type 1 diabetes: excessive thirst, weight loss, frequent urination, and irritability. These can be recognized as common signs of Type 1 diabetes. I’m sharing my signs so that others can #SeeTheSigns,” Jonas captioned the clip. “Join me and share yours #SeeTheSigns #T1D #WorldDiabetesDay @beyondtype1.”

“It’s such a big part of my life and has been for so long that, obviously, it was something that I wanted to share with her and include her in that journey,” Jonas added at the time.
As for his 9-month-old daughter Malti, the new dad said that fatherhood “has changed everything! For the better, of course!”
For Jonas, managing his condition has been a journey, adding that the most important thing about health is “doing whatever you can to take care of yourself. And you’ll never get it right 100 percent of the time, but I do my best.”
