The Board has determined that the veteran does not have a glucose intolerance disorder and finds no evidence of its onset during service or due to herbicide exposure. Therefore, service connection for this condition is denied.
The deciding factor: There is no competent medical evidence showing a nexus between the current glucose intolerance disorder and service, including herbicide exposure.
