The Board has determined that the appellant first manifested reactive hypoglycemia during service and finds in favor of granting service connection for this condition.
The deciding factor: The objective medical evidence substantiates the appellant's claim for entitlement to service connection for reactive hypoglycemia, which is a combination of manifestations sufficient to identify the disability and established by observation during service.

- Denied
