Chrissy Teigen shared that her 6-year-old son, Miles, has been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. In an Instagram post, she addressed fans who noticed his glucose monitor in a photo.

Teigen revealed that Miles was recently hospitalized with an intestinal infection, and blood tests led to the diagnosis. He is currently in the “honeymoon period” of T1 diabetes and received his first insulin shot.

Teigen expressed gratitude for the love and support from fans, saying it helps Miles feel less alone. “We’re learning so much on the fly,” she shared.

Teigen and John Legend welcomed Miles in 2018.
