Rob Kardashian: Is His Diabetes Out of Control?!

These past few months haven’t been too kind to Rob Kardashian.

Well, these past few months, these past few years, whatever.

He did become a father to the unspeakably adorable Dream, which is undoubtedly a high point in his life — despite the shambles his life seems to be in right now, he still seems so very, very happy about being a dad.

But everything else? Yeah, it’s kind of a mess.

His relationship with Blac Chyna seems to be over at this point, perhaps for good.

They’ve been broken up for a few weeks now at least, and unlike their previous splits, there’s been no back and forths between them, no yelling about “texting bitches,” no social media rampages.

We’d heard that they’re trying to be mature about it all, and against all odds, it seems like they’re succeeding.

So since Rob’s love life has apparently gone all to hell, it’s a good thing he has his health, right?

Not so fast …

Rob has been struggling with diabetes for over a year now. He was first hospitalized for it in December of 2015, and it seemed pretty serious at the time.

He lost a lot of weight when he began dating Blac Chyna, enough that he actually reversed the diabetes, but that didn’t last for long.

He began gaining weight again, and when he and Chyna started having serious relationship issues, he got back in self-destruct mode, eating his feelings and ignoring his health.

Last December, he was hospitalized once again when his diabetes got out of control.

We’ve heard that Rob is considering gastric bypass surgery to get a handle on his weight, but as of now, he hasn’t taken that leap yet.

But he has been desperately asking his Instagram followers for advice on managing his diabetes.

Last night, Rob posted (and deleted) this:

Apparently some people believe that if you drink some good old-fashioned okra water, you can cure your diabetes. And hey, maybe you can. This is a wild world we’re living in.

In his caption, Rob wrote “Has anyone tried this?? I need to know if it really works.”

And there’s just something a little sad about that, right? Something a little desperate.

Hopefully he’s not having any serious complications that we don’t know about, something that would make him feel like he needs to try anything and everything that could possibly help him.

Hang in there, Rob.

Rob Kardashian: Not Taking Diabetes Seriously, Family Worried Sick

It’s been less than a month since Rob Kardashian was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with diabetes, but now his unhealthy ways has his family worried to death.

While they hoped the health scare would set him on the right track in addressing his issues with compulsive eating and addiction, it seems he’s not taking the diagnosis to heart and they now fear for his life.

According to a report by TMZ, Rob still insists on eating junk even though his mom Kris Jenner and his sisters have hired a nutritionist, a trainer and a full-time chef who specializes in diabetes diets to help him get healthy. 

The report also notes that he has to administer insulin shots once a day, but even that hasn’t stopped his return to gluttony.

It’s unfortunate, because we felt a glimmer of hope for Rob earlier this week when his sister Khloe Kardashian told GMA’s Lara Spencer that he was doing well and finally taking his health seriously.

Of course, prior reports claimed that Rob was holed up in his room on a food bender and the other day he posted a pic of brother-in-law Kanye West bathing in a pool of doughnuts, so we’re not sure what to believe.

But when he refused rehab despite Kris offering him a cool $ 1 million to go, we were like, okay, this guy really doesn’t GAF.

I’d gladly trade Mickey D’s and ice cream for quinoa and kale with that kind of money on the table.

Then again, $ 1 million to a Kardashian is probably like $ 20 to you and me, so who knows. 

Unfortunately, money can only buy health if the patient is willing to participate.

We’re hoping Rob finds the strength to get well. Godspeed, brother.

Rob Kardashian: Refusing to Leave Bedroom, Binge-Eating Fast Food Following Diabetes Diagnosis

It’s been almost two weeks since Rob Kardashian was diagnosed with diabetes, and it seems that despite some stern warnings from doctors, the 28-year-old reality star has no intention of changing his lifestyle.

According to Radar Online, not only has Rob refused rehab, he’s over-indulging like never before, and family and friends are beginning to fear the worst.

One insider claims that Rob has holed up in his bedroom in Khloe Kardashian’s Calabasas home and appears to have no intention of leaving.

Worse, he’s reportedly been receiving constant deliveries of the kind of food that resulted in his current state. 

“He’s been eating everything fattening and unhealthy in sight‑ burgers, fries, pizza, fried chicken, potato skins, burritos, enchiladas and chips,” says the source.

The insider adds that Rob has continued in his shocking over-consumption of alcohol, soda and Red Bull energy drinks.

Rob’s loved ones are obviously concerned, but according to the source, Rob has no intention of complying with their requests to seek professional treatment.

In fact, Rob has reportedly turned down an offer of $ 1 million from Kris Jenner to go to rehab.

Insiders say the bribe came from a place of desperation as Rob is currently a ticking time bomb.

“His pancreas is basically not functioning,” a source revealed last week. “He also has kidney problems. He’s very, very sick.”

Rob Kardashian: Family Intervention Looming Over Diabetes?

The Kardashians are taking on diabetes, according to a new report, in the form of another intervention aimed at helping troubled Rob.

Or more accurately, helping Rob help himself.

When Rob Kardashian was hospitalized with diabetes last month, few were shocked and everyone was sad for the 28-year-old.

Family and fans alike hoped this would be the wake-up call he desperately needs, as there’s no doubt his lifestyle is unhealthy.

Rob knows he’s in this position “because of his weight gain,” says a source, and has vowed to overhaul his habits. But will he?

“He agreed he will do follow-up doctors’ appointments and he’s taking medication to control his blood sugar,” the insider says.

Again … but will he actually follow through with it?

Mother Kris Jenner and sisters Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashian have been underwhelmed by his efforts so far, we’re hearing.

“They’re concerned he’s not taking the situation seriously,” a friend says, and as a result, they are preparing for more drastic action.

“They’re planning on doing an intervention with him.”

It won’t be the first time, but “he’s detached himself from everyone. Nobody knows what’s going on with him until it’s too late.”

If you watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online, you know the family devised a plan to get Rob in-home treatment last spring.

A desperate Kris explained on the show at the time,  “I feel like if I don’t help him do something drastic that he’s going to die.”

We truly hope it doesn’t come to that, but at this point, Rob needs to man up and take some responsibility for his actions and future.

With all the resources available to him and the support system he has in place, a little initiative would go a very long way.

Or he could continue ignoring the signs and risking his life.

Which will it be?

Rob Kardashian: Cashing In on Diabetes Diagnosis?!

Last week, Rob Kardashian was hospitalized with what later turned out to be symptoms of type 2 diabetes.

Naturally, like everything in the life of a Kardashian, Rob’s recent health scare is now being turned into a money-making opportunity.

First, Kris Jenner bribed Rob to go to rehab and allow his struggle with diabetes to be a featured storyline on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. 

Now, TMZ is reporting that a company that specializes in meal plans for diabetics has offered to make Rob healthy again – and cut him a six-figure check for his troubles.

Okay, so it’s not quite that simple.

In addition to undergoing a free trial of Five Hour Diabetics, Rob has to allow the company to use his name and likeness in its advertising campaigns and on its social media pages.

In exchange, he’ll reportedly receive a cool $ 100,000.

The deal could be a literal life-saver for the 28-year-old, as sources say Rob is refusing rehab and shows no signs of giving up his reckless lifestyle.

Money talks in Kardashian Land, so insiders expect the Rob to take the deal, and possibly follow it up by accepting his momager’s $ 1 million bribe.

If only we could all get someone to pay us huge bucks in order to get healthy.

Rob Kardashian: Putting Life in Danger By Ignoring Diabetes Diagnosis, Source Says

Last week, Rob Kardashian was hospitalized after complaining about various ailments that caused concern amongst his family and friends. 

Upon being admitted, Rob was diagnosed with diabetes, and sources close to the situation say that he could’ve lapsed into a coma if he hadn’t received the proper treatment. 

His loved ones hoped the health scare would serve as a wake-up call for Rob, but now the 28-year-old is reportedly ignoring his doctor’s warnings and carrying on with his reckless lifestyle.

“[Rob] continues to drink Red Bulls which are loaded with sugar,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online. “He’s eating junk food too.

The insider says Rob is in denial about the severity of his problems, which is particularly frustrating for his inner circle, as he could potentially reverse the damage he’s done to his body with a few simple lifestyle changes.

“The diabetes diagnosis should have been a wake-up call for Rob, but he is in absolute denial about it,” the source says.

“He refuses to monitor his blood sugar daily as doctors have told him to do. Even more frustrating is that Rob’s diabetes would likely go away if he began working out and eating healthy!

“There is nothing the family can do to help Rob because he is shutting everyone out. With all of the resources available to him, including nutritionists, chefs, and trainers, this is completely manageable but Rob isn’t willing to make any effort.”

The insider adds that while Rob could recover if he were to take immediate action, his situation is currently dire – and it looks as though it will only get worse.

“His pancreas is basically not functioning,” the source says. “He also has kidney problems. He’s very, very sick.” 

Rob Kardashian Diabetes Diagnosis: Will It Be a Wake-Up Call?

Will Rob Kardashian use his latest health scare to turn his life around?

This is the question now being posed after the reality star was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday and diagnosed by doctors with diabetes.

Few details are available regarding the incident, but E! News confirms that the 28-her old felt sick over the Christmas weekend.

He was therefore taken to the hospital and, following a handful of tests, given the difficult news.

It doesn’t come as a major shock to anyone who has been following the journey of Rob Kardashian, someone who has admittedly become fat after possibly overeating as a response to his unhappy state in life.

But those close to the star hope this health scare will finally force him to make some changes.

“He’s home already. He went for a little and is fine now. It was a wake up call,” a source tells E! News of Kardashian.

The insider explains that Rob’s tests revealed his blood sugar levels were very high, with physicians telling him that he needs to lose weight, exercise and significantly alter his diet.

Otherwise, the situation will only grow worse.

No famous family member has spoken on Rob’s condition since the hospitalization, although Khloe Kardashian just shared a sad picture on Instagram, writing the word “Melancholy” as a caption.

The former Dancing with the Stars contestant has purposely remained out of the limelight for over a year now.

He has reportedly gained over 100 pounds since bailing on Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s wedding back in May of 2014.

“If only you could see yourself through my eyes!” Khloe also captioned a blurry shot on her brother on Instagram recently, adding in an attempt to raise Rob’s spirits:

“I’ll forever be obsessed with you! My one and only! #MyAce”

Let’s hope this diabetes diagnosis ends up being a blessing in disguise for the troubled young man.

Rob Kardashian: Hospitalized With Diabetes

It’s been a rough year for Rob Kardashian, and now it seems that the 28-year-old’s self-destructive habits have caught up with him.

TMZ is reporting that Rob was hospitalized and diagnosed with diabetes over the weekend.

As fans of Rob and his siblings know, Rob has been struggling with weight and compulsive eating issues for quite some time. 

Still, the news that he was suffering from diabetes reportedly came as a shock to both Kardashian and his famous family.

Little is known about Rob’s hospitalization at this time. However, it is widely believed that the reality star is suffering from Type 2 diabetes.

This condition is primarily caused by obesity and makes up the vast majority of diabetes cases in the United States.

Fortunately, sources close to the family say Rob took the diagnosis as a wake-up call, and he’s intent on starting 2016 healthy.

Not a moment too soon.

Just last week, there were unrelated reports of Rob entering rehab to receive treatment for his addictions and overeating issues.

He was said to be reluctant at the time, but hopefully his latest health scare will convince him to seek out the professional help he clearly needs.

Insiders have claimed that Rob considered gastric bypass surgery in the past, but had a last minute change of heart.

Here’s hoping that whatever treatment option he chooses, the sock designer is able to fully restore his health, once and for all.

Good luck, Rob.
