HI,
Thanks for writing to us.
Though the description is quite vague to think of the most plausible diagnosis but aymptomatic red lesions over ankle and shin in a patient with diabetes and hypothyroidism makes me assume that it could be granuloma annulare.
Granuloma annulare is a treatable benign condition and sometimes resolves spontaneously.
I would advise that you meet your dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
Take care
