[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 140394, member: 1991"] I know this might sound crazy, but I DON'T switch doctors for something like this - instead, I re-educate them. Because with a fatty liver plus diabetes, they're going to accuse you of drinking too much and eating too much. My doctors began from that point until I managed to convince them otherwise. I know my gastroenterologist doesn't believe me when I tell him I don't eat fatty food or drink at all. Every doctor I've had treating this, has initially blamed my liver problems on diet and alcohol, until I do the whole 'cooperative patient' thing and convince them otherwise. THEN they pull out all stops trying to find the answers. It's like a husband whose wife is found murdered - the detectives don't look past him for the murder, until they do the investigations and realise it wasn't him. THEN they go looking for the real killer. To move on too readily is to eventually collect a list of doctors you will never go back to, and thereby limit your future options. If instead you do your best to demonstrate and prove your 'innocence', you will have a collection of doctors who believe you and who will fight for you. You will also have better continuity of care. However, if your doctor is a total ratbag who refuses to ever consider that he may be wrong, then of course you should move on. Good luck with this one. I'm fighting this at the moment, I've developed my own paté de foie gras and I'm on the edge of diabetes. Currently dieting drastically and taking expensive diet pills. Not happy, but I have no choice. Marg [/QUOTE]
