My advice to you is to use that website to find a good thyroid doc, and get yourself appropriate therapy. I am 99.9% sure you are still undercorrected.
Hypothyroidism and diabetes are often linked, usually to the weight gain associated with Hypothyroidism (Type II Diabetes). Get the weight off and the diabetes disappears, put weight back on and the sugar levels go up again. I don't have Hypothyroidism but my husband has. I'm borderline Hyperthyroid (it runs in my family). Not to be alarmist but Thyroid problems can damage your heart if it is not controlled. This is what caused my husband's heart-attack three years ago. He didn't know he had an underactive thyroid. We've since learned that it's hereditary in his family. Both his son and daughter, in their twenties, have it too.

I know your health system is different to ours in the UK but I'd kick up a fuss until you get referred to an Endocrinologist at your hospital. Don't be fobbed off by doctors who tell you to go on a diet. This is what happened to my husband. Non of the idiots had the sense to do a simple blood test. If they had, the Hypothyroidism would have been picked up and he probably would not have had a major heart attack that nearly killed him.
