The veteran's onychomycosis of the left foot is due to disease that was incurred in service. The claim for high glucose levels is denied as there is no evidence of a disability associated with it.
The deciding factor: Service connection granted based on secondary service connection, as the condition is linked to an already service-connected condition (onychomycosis of the right foot).
