Every doctor I know is patronizing at the mere suggestion that a low-fat low-protein diet isn't the last answer to health. I was in the office when my husband was visiting his cardiologist. DH asked for a fasting insulin test, and the doc said he doesn't DO diabetes. Of course 2/3rds of his patients HAVE diabetes, but he can't be bothered. If it walks like a duck, and quacks ......... He's not going to that doc any more. Lynnet
