Rob Kardashian hospitalized over diabetes scare
New dad Rob Kardashian was hospitalized on Wednesday (28Dec16) following a diabetes drama.
Kim Kardashian's brother, who has struggled with his weight in recent years, was diagnosed with the Type 2 blood sugar condition in 2015, and required medical attention a year ago (Dec15) after he stopped taking the insulin he had been prescribed to help him manage the illness.
He subsequently began working out and adopting a healthier diet
with the help of his fiancee Blac Chyna, and in October (16), he
claimed his nutritionist had told him he was now diabetes-free.
However, Rob's on/off relationship with Chyna, from whom he split
just days before Christmas (16), reportedly prompted him to eat
excessively once again and lose control of his diabetes.
According to TMZ.com, the 29-year-old checked himself into a
medical center near his home in Hidden Hills, California for
treatment on Wednesday night, when doctors attempted to stabilise
his blood sugar levels.
Both Chyna and his mother Kris Jenner were spotted arriving at the
hospital shortly afterward.
The famous family has yet to comment on Rob's health scare, but he
was photographed leaving the hospital on Thursday morning
(29Dec16).
The reality TV star's latest break-up from Chyna occurred a week
before Christmas, when the model told fans she had dumped Rob and
taken their newborn daughter Dream with her after implying he had
been responsible for hacking into her social media accounts and
leaking private text messages.
Kim Kardashian's brother initially responded to Chyna's outburst,
claiming he "can't believe she really hurt me this way", but he
later issued a public apology to his fiancee and promised to seek
professional help for his personal problems so they could mend
their relationship.
"This weekend I was in an emotional bad place and did some things
that embarrassed myself and my family," he declared online. "I
apologize and I'm seeking help to deal with my flaws/issues. Please
pray for me and I'm sorry @blacchyna. You are a great mother to our
child and I love you."
He also shared a separate message for the couple's baby daughter,
posting, "I am going to get better for you Dream. You are my life
and gave me a new start on being a better me. Love you."
It has been a rollercoaster year for the couple, which began dating
in January (16). Rob and Chyna became engaged in April (16) and
announced their baby news in May (16).
Dream was born in early November (16), a little sister for Chyna's
four-year-old son King with her ex-fiance Tyga, who is now dating
Rob's half-sister Kylie Jenner.
