Nick Jonas of Disney’s The Jonas Brothers was diagnosed with type I diabetes when he was 13 years old. He’s the spokesperson for the website NicksSimpleWins.com and is trying to help other kids with diabetes cope by using his experience.

As part of their latest effort, Nick and Bayer have created limited edition dog tags — modeled after the one Nick wears — to be worn as a symbol of hope and solidarity to unite anyone whose life is touched by diabetes. Two versions of the dog tags are available: one for people who would like to support the cause and another specifically as a medical alert in case of emergency for people with diabetes. Both dog tags feature a lyric from “A Little Bit Longer,” the song Nick wrote about his diabetes.

It’s not all that often you get to hear about ‘pop-tarts’ doing some good things, usually it’s the negative moments that make the news.  A trend that can be a bit much to bear admittedly from things, shows, and people aimed at kids.
