Your question is a good one, but there seems to be not enough research done in that area to answer definitively if cholecystectomies have the unfortunate side effect of increasing the risk of Diabetes. There are several studies that report a CONNECTION between gall bladder disease and diabetes (that if you have one you are more likely to have the other) but that more often points to an underlying cause that contributes to both problems more than the fact that a cholecystectomy may put you at risk for diabetes. If anything the risk to worry about after a cholecystectomy is pancreatic cancer as research has been done on that and there is a know increased risk of pancreatic cancer associated with cholecystectomy.
