CHRISSY Teigen has revealed her and John Legend’s son’s illness in a new post.
The model thanked her fans for being so supportive after they noticed a detail in a recent picture.
On Wednesday, Chrissy, 38, shared a photo of a page of a book to her Instagram.
It talked about a son having to handle pain and the parents wishing that there was more they could do.
The page was from the book Year 1 With Type 1.
The next few slides had an explanation of a photo of her, Miles, 6, and her daughter, Luna, 8.
They sat in the bleachers at the Olympics and held up signs that spelled out Simone Biles’ name.
Her husband, John Legend, took the photo, and their other two children – Esti and Wren – were not in attendance.
“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 wrote.
“Miles had his arm up and so many of you reached out to say the most beautiful and incredible words I have ever witnessed on this platform.”
“You noticed his type-1 diabetes monitor and extended so much love and encouragement in every way possible,” she went on.
“I was, and am, so blown away by the kindness of this community already.”

Chrissy went on to say that she knows some parents are going through so much worse and they have a specialist helping them through Miles’ illness.
MILES’ HOSPITALIZATION
Chrissy then continued on a new slide about how they found out about his diagnosis.
She said he was in the hospital with a case of shigella, an intestinal infection caused by bacteria in food or water.
Chrissy revealed that his camp friend had the same illness.
The doctors knew something was off about his blood tests

“The doctors knew something was off about his blood tests,” she wrote.
“I’ve learned since then that this is how so many young children end up being diagnosed with type-1 diabetes – going to the hospital for something completely different.”
Chrissy said that Miles is in the “honeymoon period” of a lifetime of T1.
They gave the six-year-old his first shot of insulin on Tuesday and are learning as they go.
MORE ON TYPE-1 DIABETES
Type-1 Diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes, is a chronic autoimmune disease.
It happens when the immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
Insulin is a hormone the body uses to allow sugar to enter cells to produce energy.
Genetics and some viruses may cause type-1 diabetes.
Type-1 diabetes usually develops in childhood or adolescence but can occur in adults.
There is no cure for the disease, but it can be treated by managing blood sugar.
Some symptoms include blurry vision, urinating frequently, feeling more thirsty and hungry than usual, mood changes, and losing weight without trying.
