MacKenzie McKee was rushed to the hospital after her diabetes caused her blood sugar to spike “dangerously high,” according to reports coming from TMZ. The Teen Mom 3 star was rushed to the hospital in Miami, Oklahoma January 13 by her mother and husband, Josh McKee. She is still in the hospital being monitored at this time while they attempt to get her blood sugar back to where it needs to be, otherwise it would be far too dangerous for her to go home.
McKee has been dieting and going through intense exercise to prepare her body for her next figure competition. Could this have played a part in the blood sugar issues? MacKenzie is sharing her suffering on her Twitter page saying, “I have never been this sick… Ever.”
This isn’t the first time that MacKenzie McKee has faced emergency situations caused by her type 1 diabetes. When she gave birth to her second child, Jaxie, she had to have a c-section earlier than was planned thanks to her blood sugar dropping dangerously low. That occurred on February 7, 2014. The following month, McKee’s blood sugar spiked and caused her to get into a car accident that left her car totalled, but she was thankfully okay.
Some things you may not know about the Teen Mom 3 star (thanks to her wiki page) is that before she got pregnant, the first time, she was on birth control pills. She quit them though because she didn’t want to get fat from them. She also suffered a miscarriage before the she gave birth to her first child, Gannon. The young mom has been married to her husband since August 17th, 2013. If you’re a fan of the show, you already know all of this of course, along with the fact that Josh and MacKenzie have both cheated on each other, but have somehow managed to stay together.
We can’t help but wonder if all the bodybuilding type training could be the real reason behind MacKenzie’s inability to keep her blood sugar balanced. She is well aware of her condition, but normally with medical guidance, keeping your diabetes under control shouldn’t be this challenging. Do you think that the Teen Mom 3 star should let go of the intense training and focus solely on her health?
