Chrissy Teigen's son diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. The model confirmed the six-year-old has Type 1 diabetes, after fans spotted his Type 1 monitor on a photo she shared on her Instagram page. ”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," she wrote. ”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.” "So many parents around the world are going through unfathomable things that I could never imagine. I tell myself this every time we get a red alert blasted to our phones. And we are so blessed to have so much help and a wonderful, kind, huge-hearted specialist.” She revealed her son was only diagnosed by chance, because he was being treated for another illness. ”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 all 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.” He's now having regular insulin to keep him healthy. Chrissy, 38, who is married to singer John Legend, revealed they've been talking to Nick Jonas, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he 13. ”Nick was so kind to him!! We were so lucky to run into him.”
