Doctors not listening to me about my diabetes treatment

Anyone else have this problem, the nurses and doctor at my doctor office don’t really listen and tell me to do certain things that I know won’t really work. Like first they told me that I didn’t need insulin at first and (this was when they thought I was type 2 diabetic because of my age and that I was a little overweight, so they assumed I was type 2.) but then like a few weeks after diagnosis they had to put me on Lantus insulin and then also put me on Metformin. But that wasn’t working and then added humalog to take every time I eat. And now my blood sugar is still high but is getting better now. So if the people at my doctors office had just listened to me from the beginning they could have put me on the Lantus and humalog right away and I would probably have my blood sugar a little better under control by now.
