Hi. This is very simple. IF the present doses do not improve your diabetes and hypothyroidism, your doctor has to titrate and increase the doses according to the recent reports. As far as possible one / you should avoid antidepressant therapy / depression; as this itself may be the reason for no control of your condition and gaining weight. There are rare diseases with a combination of diabetes + hypothyroidism and other hormonal problems, for which I would suggest you to have a consultation with an Endocrinologist. He may advise you to go for an ultrasonography of neck ( thyroid and parathyroid glands) abdomen ( pancreas and other organs).
