The Veteran's claim for a compensable evaluation for hypoglycemia prior to July 5, 2007 was granted. For the portion of the appeal period from July 5, 2007, his diabetes mellitus with history of hypoglycemia is rated at 10 percent.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hypoglycemia has been managed by diet only during the relevant periods and thus warrants a compensable evaluation. His diabetes mellitus with history of hypoglycemia, however, does not meet the criteria for a higher rating as it is currently being managed by diet alone.

- Denied
The Board denied the claim for service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death, as the evidence did not support a finding that any of the listed conditions were etiologically related to an in-service injury or disease.

The Board denied service connection for a head injury, hypoglycemia, malaise (also claimed as fatigue), and folliculitis. However, the gynecological disorder was granted based on an undiagnosed illness presumptively related to Persian Gulf War service.
