Hoda Kotb breaks silence on daughter Hope's debilitating health condition
Hoda Kotb has revealed that her youngest daughter Hope has been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, two years after she was rushed to hospital.
The longtime Today show co-anchor, 60, returned to the program on Wednesday morning where she opened up about her daughter's diagnosis to Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin.
Speaking candidly about Hope's health for the first time, mom-of-two Hoda revealed that she is 'constantly monitoring' her six-year-old.
'Hope is fine for most of the day. There are just moments where you have to watch her,' she explained.
'I was totaling it up — five minutes at breakfast, five minutes at lunch, five minutes at dinner, sometimes overnight. Add that up, that's a half-hour. So, for 23 and a half hours, she's every other kid, so I try to remember that.'
