She continued, “You noticed his type -1 diabetes monitor and extended so much love and encouragement in every way possible. I was and am, so blown away by the kindness of this community already. I know. Things could be so much worse!! So many parents around the world are going through unfathomable things that I could never imagine. I tell myself this every time we get a red alert blasted to our phones. And we are so blessed to have so much help and wonderful, kind, huge-hearted specialists.”

“Type 1 diabetes, once known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition,” according to the Mayo Clinic. “In this condition, the pancreas makes little or no insulin. Insulin is a hormone the body uses to allow sugar (glucose) to enter cells to produce energy. Different factors, such as genetics and some viruses, may cause type 1 diabetes. Although type 1 diabetes usually appears during childhood or adolescence, it can develop in adults. Even after a lot of research, type 1 diabetes has no cure.”

Teigen continued, “Miles got diagnosed after getting sick at camp with shigella.” Despite contracting the same disease as the other children, his blood testing showed abnormalities, according to the doctors.
