Rob Kardashian hospitalised with diabetes - report

Kim Kardashian's brother Rob has reportedly been hospitalised in Los Angeles and diagnosed with diabetes.

The 28-year-old has been battling weight issues over the last couple of years and his health took a turn for the worse over the weekend (26-27Dec15).

He was admitted to a local hospital, where doctors performed a number of tests and subsequently revealed he was diabetic, according to TMZ.com.

The reality TV regular began piling on the pounds following his 2012 split from singer Rita Ora, and his ballooning weight has prompted him to take a step back from appearing on the family reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

He was last seen in public in June (15).
