Chrissy Teigen has recently opened up about her son, Miles, who she shares with her husband, John Legend. The 38-year-old cookbook author shared that her son is diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.
The model took to her Instagram to share the saddening news and shared a lengthy statement. She began by adding, “A lot of you noticed something a little special about a photo I posted a few days ago — Luna, Miles and I celebrating Simone 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. 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.”
She continued admitting that “things could be so much worse”, and her family is blessed to have taken the help of a specialist. She further added in the note, “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! 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 completely different.”
