Chrissy Teigen and John Legend’s 6-year-old son Miles is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes

Following the diagnosis of their 6-year-old son Miles with type 1 diabetes, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, along with their young children, are adjusting to “a different, new world for us.”

Teigen shared the news of her son’s diagnosis with her followers in a Wednesday Instagram post after some of them noticed the young boy having a glucose monitor on the back of his arm on a photo of him holding up signs at the Paris Olympics.

“A lot of you noticed something a little special about a photo I posted a few days ago — Luna, Miles and I celebrating Simone (Biles) and team USA. Miles had his arm up, and soooo many of you reached out to say the most beautiful and incredible words I have ever witnessed on this platform,” Teigen, 38, wrote in the post.

“You noticed his type-1 diabetes monitor and extended so much love and encouragement in every way possible. I was, and am, so blown away by the kindness of this community, already.”

Her post triggered an outpouring of love and affection by her fans and followers and she was touched by the reactions.

“A couple weeks ago, our Miles was sick, in the hospital, with a terrible case of shigella, an intestinal infection caused by bacteria in food or water. A lot of his friends were also sick with it, as they went to the same camp and well, it happens!” Teigen wrote in her post.

It was then that doctors noticed something unusual in his blood results.
“But the doctors knew something else was off about his blood tests. I’ve learned since then that this is how so many young children end up being diagnosed with type-1 going to the hospital for something different. After more testing, we learned he is in the ‘honeymoon period’ of a lifetime of T1. Last night we gave him his first shot of insulin and here we go! A different, new world for us and we are certainly learning so much on the fly.”

She ended her post thanking everyone for their kind words of support.
“This post is to thank you so much for your kindness,” she wrote. “It helps Miles so much to know so many other people are going through the same thing and he is not alone.”

Teigen and Legend welcomed Miles in 2018.
