Gallstone effects to a daibetic.

[shanmukh]

It is told by a doctor after seeing my ultrasound scan of my abdomen done on routine medica check up that you have gallstone of size less than 5 mm. As I have no symtomps, he said no need to worry. Is this is risky to me. I have sugar since 3 years and BP and in normal. My age is 55yrs. Pl advice.
