Chrissy Teigen Shares Son Miles’ Type 1 Diabetes Diagnosis
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are adjusting to a “new world” after their 6-year-old son, Miles, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Teigen shared the news on Instagram, revealing the discovery came after Miles was hospitalized with shigella, a bacterial infection, following a camp outbreak.
During his hospital stay, doctors noticed irregularities in his blood tests, leading to the diabetes diagnosis. “I’ve learned this is how so many young children are diagnosed—going to the hospital for something unrelated,” Teigen explained. Miles is currently in the “honeymoon period” of the condition, and the family recently administered his first insulin shot.
Teigen first hinted at the diagnosis when followers noticed a glucose monitor on Miles’ arm in a photo from the Paris Olympics. In her heartfelt post, Teigen thanked the community for their overwhelming kindness and encouragement. “Your words have been the most beautiful I’ve ever witnessed on this platform,” she wrote.
The family is now navigating this life-changing diagnosis, and Teigen expressed gratitude for the support that reassures Miles he’s not alone. Fans and followers have responded with an outpouring of love, proving the strength of the community during this challenging time.
