Breaking Amish Star Jeremiah Raber Hospitalized with Potential Liver Failure

Reality TV personality Jeremiah Raber, known for his appearances on the *Breaking Amish* franchise, has been hospitalized and is reportedly facing potential liver failure. The 45-year-old shared updates on his health via TikTok, posting a selfie from a hospital bed on December 30th, indicating he was awaiting transport to another medical facility.

Raber revealed his blood sugar level was dangerously high, reaching 993. The Mayo Clinic indicates that normal blood sugar levels for non-diabetics are typically around 100 after fasting. The following day, Raber posted a video of himself being airlifted by helicopter.

In a subsequent update on January 2nd, Raber expressed gratitude for the support he received and stated he was "doing good" and expected to be discharged soon.

This is not the first time Raber has faced health challenges. In April 2024, he was hospitalized for heart issues and diabetic ketoacidosis, a potentially life-threatening condition that can occur when the body doesn't produce enough insulin.

Raber, who joined the *Breaking Amish* cast in 2012, has been open about his personal struggles, including financial difficulties. In March 2024, he thanked fans for their donations, which he said would help him seek medical attention for his heart issues. He has also been candid about his personal life, including his marriage to Carmela Raber, who filed a restraining order against him in 2022. Raber confirmed their separation shortly after. He is currently living in a camper van and traveling across the United States. He has three children from a previous marriage.

BNN's Perspective: While it's concerning to see someone facing such serious health issues, it's encouraging to see Raber's openness about his struggles and his gratitude for the support he's received. It underscores the importance of proactive healthcare and the challenges faced by individuals navigating personal and financial difficulties.
