Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are "still learning" about their son's new lifelong medical condition.
The mom of four recently gave fans a look into her busy home life through several sweet photos shared to her Instagram featuring her and Legend's children, Luna, 8, Miles, 6, Esti, 22 months, and Wren, 17 months, per People. The post included adorable videos of Esti learning how to count and say the alphabet as well as pics of Teigen cuddling with her youngest son, Luna smiling with her little sister and Miles striking a pose.
"house is alivvvve! alphabets and counting, big kids being big and becoming funny little humans. it's a lot but it's perfect," she captioned the post.
When one commenter asked the Cravings author if she would consider sharing more about her and Legend's experience handling their son Miles' recent diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes to help bring awareness to the condition, Teigen said she was all for it, responding, "I definitely plan to! We are still learning over here ourselves."
In July, Teigen revealed that her oldest son was diagnosed with T1 diabetes after he was hospitalized with an infection and "doctors knew something was off" in his blood tests. According to the American Diabetes Association, Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease most often diagnosed in young people, though it can develop at any age. The condition causes the pancreas to make little or no insulin, a hormone that helps blood glucose, or blood sugar, to enter the body's cells to be used as energy.
At the time, Teigen shared her appreciation for all the kindness and encouragement her family received throughout the new chapter of their lives that will last a "lifetime," adding that the support "helps Miles so much to know so many other people are going through the same thing and he is not alone."
