as you are diabetic, fungal infection of nails are most common we call it as Onychomycosis, if u want to confirm it give your nail clipping for fungal culture, and the whole nail can be removed but because u r diabetic there is a risk of infection in doing Any procedure , control your blood sugar and u can try tab Terbinafine 250 mg od dose for 4 -6 weeks check your liver function tests before taking tab if it's normal then u can try and topical amorolfine nail lacquer 5%
