Chrissy Teigen Reveals That Her Son Has Type 1 Diabetes

In a heartfelt Instagram post, Chrissy Teigen shared that her six-year-old son, Miles, has been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. The news came after Miles was hospitalized for a separate illness, an intestinal infection called shigella.

Miles is now in the “honeymoon period” of his lifetime with Type 1 diabetes. This phase refers to the early stages after diagnosis when the pancreas still produces some insulin. Chrissy Teigen and her husband, John Legend, are learning to manage this new reality, giving Miles his first shot of insulin.

She expressed gratitude for the outpouring of love and encouragement from her followers. Many noticed Miles wearing a glucose monitor in a recent photo, and their kindness touched her deeply. Knowing that others are going through similar experiences provides comfort and reassurance.

By sharing their story, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend raise awareness about Type 1 diabetes. It’s a reminder that even in the face of unexpected health challenges, families can come together, learn, and support one another.
