In a new interview with magazine, Chrissy discussed her son's condition and revealed his reaction to the news. "He asked, 'Why, why me? How come not Luna?',' she said.

"And to not have an answer for that is really ." She also discussed the lead up to the diagnosis, explaining how he was going to football camp "like he does every summer".

The TV star continued: "Somehow, during the camp, they all had gotten this infection. And for some reason, it really took Miles down harder than a lot of the other kids.

"His pain was incredible. He ended up in the hospital at Cedars for three full days. It was just, blood test after blood test. I'm not a doctor so I don't really know what they're doing. I'm just thinking they're helping him with this infection that he has."

However, the doctors started realising 'something else was up' with Miles. She and John 'were thrown into this of chaos' as they navigated learning about the condition.

Chrissy explained: "Our whole life is going to be dedicated to learning as much as we can to make sure Miles feels confident with the team he has around him."

Last year, Chrissy shared a snap of at the Paris Olympics and fans couldn't help but notice the insulin monitor on his arm.

Alongside the snap she penned: "A lot of you noticed something a little special about a photo I posted a few days ago — Luna, Miles and I celebrating Simone and team USA. Miles had his arm up, and soooo many of you reached out to say the most beautiful and incredible words I have ever witnessed on this platform."

She went on to reveal: "A couple weeks ago, our Miles was sick, in the hospital, with a terrible case of shigella, an intestinal infection caused by bacteria in food or water. A lot of his friends were also sick with it, as they went to the same camp and well, it happens!

"But the doctors knew something else was off about his blood tests. I've learned since then that this is how so many young children end up being diagnosed with type-1 — going to the hospital for something completely different.

"After more testing, we learned he is in the 'honeymoon period' of a lifetime of T1. Last night we gave him his first shot of insulin and here we go! A different, new for us and we are certainly learning so much on the fly."

Chrissy then concluded: "This post is to thank you so much for your kindness. It helps Miles so much to know so many other people are going through the same thing and he is not alone."
