Denied
The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus, finding that the Veteran's condition was not incurred in service and is not related to his service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner concluded it was less likely than not that the Veteran's diabetes was related to his service, supported by a significant family history of diabetes and late diagnosis.
