Chrissy Teigen opens up his oldest son’s type 1 diabetes diagnosis.
The model that mothers children Luna, 9 and siblings Miles, 6, Esti, 2 and Wren, 22 months of singer John Legend, people tell the difficulties around the condition.
“It really took Miles down harder than many of the other kids,” she remembers. “His pain was incredible and he’s a pretty tough little boy.”
“We were thrown into this world of chaos and having to learn so much at once,” says
“Everything was paused. We found ourselves go in and out of hospitals, sat with our notebooks that took abundant notes and took videos of everything someone did with the insulin jaw,” says Teigen.
Chrissy then quoted his son and added, “Why Me? How’s not Luna coming?” She remembers. “He was really worried that it would affect if he could play sports. Can I still have candy? Can I have ice cream? All the things that only a child would worry about me.”
“You try everything: tokens, bribes, iPad time. You do everything you can to see what makes him comfortable,” she says, growing emotionally. “The first three months were really, really tough for us as a family because your child is experiencing pain,” reminds the model.
