As she is diabetic, in case of infection of the gallbaldder she can have a severe type of infection called emphysematous cholecystitis, apart from other wide range of complications. She can continue to take pain medications Conservatively, but its better to take the gb out, in a specialist center its a matter of 50 minutes laparoscopically. You can private DM me for further assistance.

Yes, it’s necessary. Diabetics have more complications if gall stones are not dealt with surgically.
No other options. Get her operated
