It’s been almost a month since Rob Kardashian was diagnosed with diabetes, and the troubled reality star still hasn’t spoken publicly on the matter.

Fortunately, Rob has plenty of people in his life who are willing to speak for him.

First, Khloe Kardashian claimed Rob is doing better and actually taking his health seriously for the first time in years.

Now, Kris Jenner is speaking on Rob’s behalf, and she’s also putting a 100% positive spin on a terrifying health crisis.

"That [illness] was almost a relief, because then he can take all the steps. It was like a godsend, so it’s all good," Kris told Access Hollywood during a recent interview.

"It’s one thing to say, ‘Oh, I’m going to get on the healthy path’, but then you really need to get on the healthy path." 

We get what Kris is saying: Rob has hit rock bottom and he has no place to go but up.

Still, calling a debilitating illness a "godsend" is a bit of a stretch.

Rob still has to take the necessary steps to get better, and it’ll likely be months before he fully recovers – if that’s even possible.

We wish Rob all the best, and we’re sure he has the support structure necessary to get him back on the right path, but those around him need to stop turning a blind eye to the seriousness of his situation.
