According to TMZ, Kardashian was specifically diagnosed with type 2 diabetic ketoacidosis, which causes the body to produce high levels of blood acids, or ketones. If Kardashian would’ve gone untreated, there’s a chance he could’ve fallen into a diabetic coma.
Luckily for Kardashian, his doctors informed him that if he improves his diet and exercise habits, he can get his diabetes under control and possibly have it go into remission.
