The thinking was, this may be a reaction to the infection or he may be diabetic. They did some more tests and decided it was the latter, that he was Type 1 diabetic. Chrissy was upset a little bit when she first heard. She&#8217;s been so good at learning what she needs to do.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My personality is one where I&#8217;m very optimistic and I&#8217;m very practical. As soon as I learned that he had this I knew it was going to be life-changing for him and for us, but I&#8217;m also like, &#8216;We can do this.&#8217; We&#8217;ve got great advice and lots of people offering support to help us learn.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This speaks to us feeling like a team and knowing we can do this v. It just makes us stronger.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe &#8216;All Of Me&#8217; singer &#8211; who also has Luna, eight, Etsi, 20 months, and 15-month-old Wren with Chrissy &#8211; noted that his eldest son is &#8220;earl in the diagnosis&#8221; so there is still some more work to do but he and his wife are both just &#8220;more aware&#8221; of paying attention to his dietary and medicinal needs now.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;He&#8217;s early in his diagnosis, and when you&#8217;re early, your insulin is still doing some of the work that it needs to do. But as the disease progresses, it&#8217;s going to get to a point where we really need to monitor everything, count carbs, give him insulin beforehand. We just have to be more aware.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/john-legend-shares-sons-shock-diagnosis-made-chrissy-teigen-stronger-couple-1405842.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>6 September 2024 John Legend and Chrissy Teigen are &#8220;stronger&#8221; as a couple because of their son&#8217;s health problems.
