John Legend’s wife Chrissy Teigen have shared that their son, Miles, has been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes after a photo of the 6-year-old wearing a continuous glucose monitor went viral. The image, which quickly captured widespread attention, prompted Chrissy to open up about their family’s journey with Miles’ diagnosis. Thanking everyone for the outpouring love and concern, Chrissy posted, “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.

Chrissy Teigen detailed the family’s experience discovering Miles’ Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis in a heartfelt Instagram post. She explained, “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. After more testing, we learned he is in the ‘honeymoon period’ of a lifetime of T1. Last night we gave him his first shot of insulin and here we go!” Shelley Duvall, Known for ‘The Shining’ and ‘Popeye’, Dies at 75 Due to Diabetes Complications.
