According to a TMZ report, actress Mitchell Trechenberg, known for her role in Gossip Girl, died of diabetes -related complications. The update comes in February after a 39 -year -old star was found dead in the apartment in New York City. Immediately after his sudden death, reports stated that Mitchell went through a liver implants. However, its exact type of diabetes – whether it is type 1 or type 2 – was not confirmed in laboratory results. Initially, the office of the New York City Medical Examiner “set” the cause of death as the family objected to a full body examination.
People close to the actress told media outlets that Mitchell was open to feel unwell. A source told people that she had become “really, really sick” and often shared with her friends that she was struggling both physically and emotionally. “He was yellow, very thin, and a lot of health issues.”
Did her liver transplant play a role?
Medical experts say this is possible. According to the US National Library of Medicine, 30 percent of people receiving liver transplant are known to develop a type of diabetes called liver transplant diabetes mellitus (Pltdm). This condition is associated with drugs given after transplantation to prevent the body from rejecting the new liver.
A transplant specialist Dr. in Boston. Steven Fishman said, “These drugs, especially tacrolimus and cyclosporin, can affect it how the body makes insulin and handles blood sugar.” “People who already have other risk factors such as fatty liver disease or hepatitis C are high in risk.”
The condition is critical. Studies show that people who develop Pltdm at risk of complications and even death are not properly managed.

Dr, a diabetic specialist at Los Angeles. Anne Peters says, “People often ignore early signs or think they are part of tired or stressed. But catching diabetes early can create a big difference.”
