She said: “Because then he can take all the steps. It was like a godsend, so it's all good."

“He's such a perfectionist. It's a big challenge for him now to turn all that around, but he can, and that's the good news. He can turn it around and and be in a much healthier place."

Earlier this week, Rob has broken his social media silence at last, posting a rare selfie just weeks after being diagnosed with diabetes.

The reclusive reality star, who hasn't been spotted in public for months, posted a close-up photo as he hid behind a ski scarf.

It comes amid claims Rob isn't taking his recent diabetes diagnosis seriously enough, and is refusing to alter his unhealthy lifestyle.

Sources say the Kardashian klan are deeply worried about overweight Rob, desperately fearing for his health.

It was thought the 28-year-old would shake up his lifestyle after being admitted to hospital and being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. According to TMZ ex sock designer Rob's condition is so serious he has to inject himself with insulin once a day.

Despite Khloe and Kris hiring Rob a full-time chef who specialises in diabetes diets, the recluse isn't budging and wont exercise.
