Granted
The Board granted a disability rating of 40 percent for the Veteran's service-connected diabetes mellitus type II, as the evidence shows that he requires insulin, a restricted diet, and regulation of activities.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's testimony and medical records established that he meets the criteria for a 40 percent rating under DC 7913, which includes taking insulin, being on a restricted diet, and having regulation of activities.
