Denied
The Board denied service connection for Type II diabetes mellitus as there is no evidence of the condition during active service or within one year thereafter, and no competent medical evidence linking it to service.
The deciding factor: The lack of a diagnosis of Type II diabetes mellitus during service and the absence of a nexus between the current condition and service was the deciding factor.
