“Breaking Amish” star Jeremiah Raber was airlifted to a hospital with a very high, life-threatening blood sugar level and “possible liver failure.”
Raber made the reveal via TikTok Tuesday, telling his followers that he was “waiting to be life flighted to another hospital.” He also shared a selfie of himself in a hospital bed.
His blood sugar level was “993,” and the Cleveland Clinic states that blood sugar levels less than 100 are “normal fasting blood sugar levels,” while 126 or above potentially indicates that a person has diabetes.
The reality TV personality, 45, shared another TikTok post on Tuesday that showed him being taken onto a helicopter on a stretcher.
He also posted another selfie video from a hospital bed.
Then, in an update on Saturday, Raber thanked his followers for their prayers and wrote, “I’m doing good and will be out tomorrow!”
“Stay positive, let the haters hate and live your life to the fullest! Get some rest,” one fan wrote, while another replied: “Sending healing energy.”
A third person wrote, “Take care of yourself! Heal before you [stress] about anything! Care for you because nobody else can. Know what I mean? Stay healthy. Please!”
Raber’s latest health issue comes more than a year after he spent two days in the hospital for heart issues and diabetic ketoacidosis, according to InTouch Weekly.
Diabetic ketoacidosis is a “a life-threatening complication of diabetes and undiagnosed Type 1 diabetes,” according to the Cleveland Clinic.
Raber was one of the breakout stars of TLC’s “Breaking Amish” when it premiered in 2012. The docuseries followed young Amish and Mennonite adults as they left their traditional and insular culture to experience the modern world for the first time.
Following his exit from the show, Raber returned to the franchise for 2014’s “Return to Amish.” He remained a part of the cast for seven seasons.
