Denied
The Board denied service connection for sleep apnea and an increased rating for diabetes mellitus, type II.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a medical nexus between the Veteran's sleep apnea and his military service or any of his service-connected conditions. For diabetes mellitus, there was no evidence that required one or more daily injections of insulin, restricted diet, and regulation of activities.
