This is most likely fungal nail infection (onychomycosis) precipitated by diabetes, not just diabetic nail damage. Proper antifungal treatment + nail care will lead to recovery
Next Steps
Keep nails short and clean Wash feet daily, dry well (especially between toes) Change socks daily, avoid tight footwear
