JONAS BROTHERS HANDLE DIABETES

Nick spent three days in the hospital learning how to manage his diabetes, including how to give himself insulin injections several times a day. The band’s busy tour schedule as a Disney Channel and teen and tween-aged pop rock band favorite, made managing his diabetes with injections a challenge. After reviewing different insulin therapy options including conventional insulin pumps that deliver insulin via long tubing attached to a pump typically worn on the belt, Nick opted instead for a relatively new insulin delivery system called the OmniPod® Insulin Management System, developed by Insulet Corporation. One of Nick’s Pediatric Diabetes Educators, Carolyn Gershenson, RN, CPT of New York Pediatric Diabetes Consultants met with him and taught him how to use and administer insulin using the OmniPod System. The OmniPod System is a wireless continuous insulin delivery system that eliminates the need for injections and offers the same functions as a conventional insulin pump without the cumbersome tubing or pump worn on the belt. Nick was actually among the first consumers in the country to use the OmniPod System. “The important thing for Nick was that he be able to manage his insulin in a way that complemented his lifestyle,” Gershenson said.
