Bayer Diabetes Care and Nick Jonas awarded the three grand prize winners of Bayer’s “Express Your Simple Win Creativity Contest.” The contest entrants were all children living with type 1 diabetes.  According to EmaxHealth each of the 160 participants sent in a 15-30 second video that expressed their “Simple Win” – small, every day victories for managing diabetes that add up to big differences over time. The videos included original lyrics, drawings, photos, or other creative ideas.

The winners are:
• Caleb, age 6, from Danbury, CT, whose dream is to become a major league pitcher
• Bradley, age 11, from Monaca, PA who loves to sing and has written his own songs
• Lauren, age 16, from Gurnee, IL who volunteers with organizations in her hometown. She said “I love helping others who need help because I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by living with diabetes. Having a support system makes the struggle easier.”

The contest is part of Bayer’s and Jonas’ partnership to educate and motivate people living with diabetes.
