My grandfather has had diabetes since 2000. He has since gotten his blood sugar levels under control with medication, but after the blood sugar got better he started noticing a type of fungus growing under his fingernails and toenails. The doctor told him that this was due to his diabetes and some of the medication that he was taking to control his blood sugar levels. The doctor wanted to put him on another prescription but my grandfather did not want to be on another medication. Once he told me about this I did some research and found about a natural remedy supplement called Caprylic Acid which is an anti-fungal. My grandfather started taking this supplement and within two weeks he noticed that his fungus was gradually going away.</p> I am the granddaughter of a Type 1 Diabetic.
