How exactly did you "install" Debian? In particular, when you did, did
you by any chance repartition or reformat anything? What's your file
system layout; do you have a separate /boot?
"No such device" from GRUB with a UUID suggests a mismatch between
partition/file system UUIDs and GRUB's configuration.
Something like `grep -i -C 5 --color 1d937ccf /boot/grub/grub.cfg`
pointing to the /boot/grub of the broken GRUB installation might point
you to where it's getting that UUID from and thus what needs to be
done to fix it. `lsblk -o +PARTUUID` might also be helpful.
I seriously doubt that you'll need to reinstall Debian to fix this.
It's more likely that your GRUB configuration just needs a little
tweak.
