Does Hiatal Hernia Affect Blood Sugar Levels?

My mom has diabetes. She has had a hiatel hernia for 8 year s. She finally got it fixed. Now her blood sugar has leveled off with out taking her glypicide. Could the hernia have caused here to get Type II diabetes? And could it cure with the hernia operation? Thanks
