The Jonas Brothers are one of the hottest acts around, with a huge amount of influence on teens and tweens, which is why the fact that they're actively talking about diabetes is such a big deal. Nick Jonas was diagnosed a couple of years ago, and instead of letting him get down about it, the brothers have used it as a platform to help others. That rocks!

Kate Hudson tends to look fabulous in whatever she wears -- haute couture, jeans and a tee, or a bikini. She doesn't just rely on genetics to keep her looking hot, though -- she incorporates all kinds of workouts into her fitness routine to stay in shape.

Everyone needs a way to get rid of their stress, and Raven-Symone is no different. The actress relies on boxing to keep her self-proclaimed "anger issues" at bay.

We Love To Gawk At Fit Celebs: The Jonas Brothers talk about diabetes

Nick Jonas, one of the three Jonas Brothers, was diagnosed with diabetes two years ago, at the age of 13, and he remembers thinking, "Why me?" Diabetes was a disease he'd heard of, but he didn't know anybody who had the disease, which it even scarier. However, he didn't stay scared for long.

"There was no familiar face in music or sports that I could connect with ... [but] I started to see it as an opportunity to be an inspiration to a generation that doesn't openly talk about having diabetes and not feeling embarrassed by the disease," said Nick.

He's also quick to point out that, while diabetes is manageable, there's nothing wrong with asking for help. There are some days where he can handle it all on his own, but there are other days he asks his brothers to help him with his needle, and said, "It's OK to rely on other people and just be positive and keep going."
