[QUOTE="Ledzeptt, post: 1519960, member: 160898"] The following article (with references to medical journals) explains how it is thought gallstones are formed: [URL]https://proteinpower.com/drmike/2005/08/05/carbohydrates-and-gallstones/[/URL] Although, the article states there is no direct link between gallstones and diabetes, the root cause (believed to be low fat high carb diet) may lead to both/either symptoms in some people. In my case, I think this is possible as I was on an extreme version of such a diet, being a vegetarian (almost vegan) for 25 years, eating very little fat and deliberately avoiding it: my cholesterol was always extremely low when tested. In addition, I relied upon carbs rather than protein for calories, so my diet was very high in carbs. There was certainly no family history of gallstones. I was waiting to have my gallbladder removed (it was "full" of gallstones) when one stone blocked a duct to my pancreas nearly killing me, leading to two months in intensive care and ongoing problems three years later including type 3c diabetes (3c because my pancreas produces no insulin). I keep smiling and don't let things get me down. Edit: I would point out to readers that my case is rare: most people with gallstones will have their gallbladder removed with a simple keyhole procedure (the most common operation performed by the NHS supposedly) without ill effect.
