Entitlement to service connection for diabetes mellitus type II is denied.

Board reasoning

The Board weighed the evidence and found no credible link between the veteran’s diabetes and his service, including no credible exposure to herbicides and no in-service onset. It relied on multiple medical opinions indicating the condition likely developed after service, and discounted the veteran’s reports as inconsistent with his service records, applying the Shedden framework and credibility assessments to support denial.
