Rob Kardashian could beat diabetes with diet and exercise, experts say

The youngest Kardashian, 28, was diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis — a serious complication of diabetes that occurs when the body produces excess blood acids known as ketones.
He was rushed to the hospital over the weekend, TMZ reported and if left untreated, he could have fallen into a diabetic coma.
“Type 2 diabetes is one of the most preventable diseases we have,” says Passler. “It’s essentially a lifestyle management problem; diet plays a huge role.”
Type 2 diabetes occurs when cells can’t use insulin — a hormone produced in the pancreas — to process sugar out of the blood. As a result, insulin levels can skyrocket. Type 1, by contrast, develops during childhood as a result of a damaged pancreas that leaves the organ producing very little insulin, or none at all.
Eating too much and not exercising enough can increase the risk of developing the condition, typically diagnosed in adults. Such a lifestyle could be the culprit for Kardashian, who in April was reported to have gained more than 100 pounds in less than a year.
He was last spotted publicly in June at West Coast burger chain In-N-Out.
