What an unpleasant and negative experience. She should have also focussed on the positives as your results show that! and the improvements in your figures/numbers!
She was obviously not listening to your concerns, views and what you wanted and was following her 'text book' and trying to push statins.
Thankfully my Dr is not like that although she is new to me as my Dr (who was useless) retired recently. Some of us have a hard enough battle controlling and managing our symptoms (through NO fault of our own) and also other conditions that may or may not be linked to our diabetes. It's not easy after being demoralised but try to pick yourself up and remember this forum IS supportive and encouraging. I often find myself on here when I'm down or feeling rubbish and asking for advice etc. And, I'm confident in the fact that I will get this from those who live and manage diabetes, unlike the Dr you saw who is unlikely to have any personal experience of the condition through either having it themselves (perish the thought!) or a family member or friend being diagnosed with it.
