Chrissy Teigen on Her Son’s T1D Diagnosis

Managing type 1 diabetes (T1D) – a disease that requires 24/7 monitoring – is all-encompassing. Unfortunately, Chrissy Teigen, author and entrepreneur, understands this reality firsthand – after her six-year-old son, Miles, was unexpectedly diagnosed in the hospital. Following Miles’ T1D diagnosis, Chrissy and her family had to quickly learn how to manage the disease – something they knew nothing about at the time. As they navigated this new normal, Chrissy never lost sight of the impact of Miles’ diagnosis on his day-to-day life and wanted to make sure he was still able to enjoy all of the joys of being a six-year-old. Knowing about a potential T1D diagnosis in advance, through T1D screening, can make a powerful difference and give families more time to prepare for a new normal.
