Chrissy Teigen recently revealed that her 6-year-old son, Miles, has been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. In an Instagram post, she gave an update after fans noticed his glucose monitor in a photo. Miles was hospitalized due to an intestinal infection, which eventually led to the diagnosis. Despite the challenges, Teigen mentioned that Miles is currently in the “honeymoon period” of T1 diabetes and had his first insulin shot.

Expressing gratitude for the outpouring of love and support from fans, Teigen emphasized how it has helped Miles feel less isolated during this time. The family is navigating this new chapter, acknowledging the steep learning curve that comes with managing the condition.

Miles, who was born in 2018 to Teigen and John Legend, is surrounded by a strong support system. Teigen’s openness about their journey highlights the importance of raising awareness and fostering understanding about type 1 diabetes for others facing similar situations.
