Breaking Amish<\/a> alum Jeremiah Raber has assured his TikTok followers that he\u2019s on the mend after a scary few days.<\/p>\n

\u201cHuge thanks to all the people that have been praying for me. I truly appreciate it,\u201d Raber, 42, wrote to fans via TikTok<\/a> on Friday, January 2.<\/p>\n

Raber previously made several alarming posts via social media, a few of which showed him in a hospital bed. On December 30, Raber said<\/a> he had \u201cpossible liver failure\u201d and was \u201cwaiting to be life flighted to another hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the time, Raber told his followers that his blood sugar level was \u201c993\u201d \u2014 which is dangerously high and potentially life-threatening, according to The Cleveland Clinic<\/a>. The clinic states that blood sugar levels less than 100 are \u201cnormal fasting blood sugar levels,\u201d whereas 126 or above potentially indicates that a person has diabetes.<\/p>\n

Raber returned to TikTok<\/a> on Thursday, January 1, to repost a comment from someone calling him a \u201cscammer\u201d and claiming that the reality star \u201cdeserves it.\u201d The former Breaking Amish cast member accompanied the trolling post with a short video clip of himself waving to the camera as he laid in a hospital bed.<\/p>\n

Two days later, Raber finally had some good news. He thanked his followers for their prayers and announced that he\u2019d made huge strides over the past few days.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m doing good and will be out tomorrow,\u201d he announced<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A third fan encouraged Raber to put his health first, writing: \u201cTake care of yourself! Heal before you [stress] about anything! Care for you because nobody else can. Know what I mean? Stay healthy. Please!\u201d<\/p>\n

Raber previously revealed he was suffering from serious health issues in March 2024. At that time, Raber thanked his TikTok followers for donating \u201cenough money to go to the doctor for [his] heart issue and stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully soon I\u2019ll be at the doctor\u2019s and getting it checked out,\u201d he promised his fans. \u201cI appreciate it more than you\u2019ll ever know<\/p>\n

InTouch Weekly<\/a> reported in April 2024 that the reality star spent two days in the hospital for heart issues and diabetic ketoacidosis. (The Cleveland Clinic<\/a> describes diabetic ketoacidosis as \u201ca life-threatening complication of diabetes and undiagnosed Type 1 diabetes\u201d and encourages anyone who suspects they may have the condition to seek immediate medical help.)<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tTLC\u2019s all-new series is putting the spotlight back on the Amish community once again. Us Weekly can exclusively reveal that Suddenly Amish is coming to the network in early 2026. Set in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the show will invite six non-Amish individuals on a rare journey as they leave behind their modern \u201cEnglish\u201d lifestyle and step [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n

Raber was one of the breakout stars of TLC<\/a>\u2019s Breaking Amish when it premiered in 2012. The docuseries followed young Amish and Mennonite people venturing out of their religious communities to experience life in New York City for the first time.<\/p>\n

Prior to the first season airing, Raber had split from his first wife, Naomi Stutzman, with whom he shares three children. He later came back to the franchise for 2014\u2019s Return to Amish and remained part of the core cast for seven seasons.<\/p>\n

Return to Amish\u2019s third season finale \u2014 which aired in August 2016 \u2014 followed Jeremiah and his second wife, Carmela Mendez Raber, on their wedding day. The two had multiple very public breakups and reconciliations<\/a> in subsequent years, leading up to Carmela filing for a restraining order against Jeremiah in March 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all reports from back [in 2017],\u201d he told InTouch Weekly at the time. \u201cShe used the s*** to get the order just to kick me out. It\u2019s sad how quick people are to post stuff like that but turn a blind eye to the change for the better people have made in their life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jeremiah announced in May 2022 that he and Carmela were \u201cnot together,\u201d though he insisted he \u201cwill still love her.\u201d<\/p>\n
