Ahri, you really need to see your doctor. Any outbreaks like this in a diabetic patient need attention. Do you monitor your blood sugar? Do you have regular checks?

Ahri, any non healing sore in a diabetic means your tissues are not receiving enough oxygen via the red blood cells. The red spots on your legs are tiny blood vessels that may be damaged by the same reason. If your blood sugar is constantly too high this may be the cause. that is why I am asking you to go back to your doctor. Your medication may need adjusting.The sore on your chest needs attention too.
Diabetes is a long term condition and needs constant attention.
Its not dangerous in the sense that you are in imminent danger of dying but it may be the the first indication that your body in general is struggling to cope, and you could suffer further incidents of non healing patches.Do see your doctor.
