Nick Jonas will be selling the benefits of a new diabetes monitoring device in a high-tech Super Bowl ad.<\/p>\n

The Jonas Brothers star transforms himself into an old man with a snap of his fingers in the commercial to show how far technology has come, while diabetes sufferers like himself are still pricking their fingers to get a blood sample to test insulin levels.<\/p>\n

Nick then endorses Dexcom G6, a glucose monitoring system, which uses a sensor wire inserted under the skin that transmits wireless data.<\/p>\n

“Drones deliver packages, and people with diabetes are still pricking their fingers? What?” Jonas, who has been living with type 1 diabetes since 2005, asks in the ad.<\/p>\n

This year’s Super Bowl ads will also feature Hollywood couple Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis flogging Cheetos, Lenny Kravitz selling Stella Artois, and Dolly Parton singing the praises of Squarespace.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, 28-year-old Jonas tweeted a link to his Dexcom ad and wrote he was: “so pumped to watch the big game this Sunday and start a conversation about a better way to manage diabetes”.<\/p>\n

The singer, who is married to actress Priyanka Chopra, has been proactive about his health throughout the coronavirus pandemic, with the couple hunkering down early on in the crisis. <\/p>\n

“Nick is a Type 1 diabetic, so we felt it was important to go into quarantine almost immediately,” Chopra told Vogue last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
