Denied
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 20 percent for type 2 diabetes mellitus with erectile dysfunction and diabetic retinopathy, as the evidence did not support that the Veteran's medical management required regulation of activities.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's diabetes required him to avoid strenuous occupational or recreational activities at any time during the rating period on appeal.
