Gall Bladder/Diabetes Connection?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I'm a new member of the group and am scheduled for an ultrasound soon

to see if I have gallstones. I have also recently been diagnosed as

being pre-diabetic, which was quite a shock since I'm slender, have no

family history of diabetes, and have no symptoms. Soooo, I began

thinking, since the gallbladder and the pancreas share the same duct

into the intestine, can a problem with the gallbladder have an impact

on insulin production? Any experience or advice in this matter is

greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Larry -

Yes, I have suspected this connection on some level as well myself. The

first time I experienced " attacks " were after I had been binging on cookies

for quite awhile. Many times before I had also gone on various sugary type

binges = probably overloading my pancreas. Also - whenever I have felt an

attack coming on could always settle it by drinking plain lemon juice. There

was only one time that did not work which is when I suppose the attack was

much more serious. I've just added Gymnema recently to my list of

supplements to help in this area.

When I was doing my research, I did find that diabetes could be a

result of having a gall bladder removed. I'm sure it's more related

than that.
