"Anyone know what
compensation ratings are awarded for type II diabetes?"
Reply(Q by a Korean conflict & Vietnam vet) On the lists of presumptive approvals for diabetes, type II ... it is approved for Korean Vets ... but not for Vietnam vets (pretty long list of ailments ... including autoimmune issues put forth by Vietnam vets ... very few approved) Korean vets are just those who may have had AO exposure/s (from what I can tell) the Korean Vets' Presumptively approved Compensation *

Question is, what besides AO may have been 'in the mix?' * Also, when did the diabetes show up? I personally believe it is a side effect of 2-butoxyethanol exposure. It can show up later in one's life (as many baby boomers including me can attest to) as a late to show up birth defect from a parent so poisoned. (My dad was a WWII Navy man who saw 'action') But if it is a sudden onset with very high Blood Sugar, look for flu symptoms and what was going on right then. I suspect autoimmune hypothalamus and that changes in blood pressure and body temperature AND BLOOD SUGAR go along with it for those with DIRECT exposure. You can still be exposed, very easily, to this chemical today: ethylene glycol monobutyl ether is the old name for 2-butoxyethanol. Look for all the MSDS info you can find to get a picture of what it does (as the USA says it's not harmful). Some info I shared with Barbara Look for THE FATIGUE of CFIDS Approval for disability should not be limited to whether or not AO is in the mix Suspect all autoimmune issues when 'the pattern' of CFS,FM, CFIDS underlies the ailment. Note the findings of UK research ... Suspect this chemical for tumors of all kinds in all areas of the body PS 2-butoxyethanol is listed
on the solvents and pesticides the gulf war troops were exposed to.
By some odd definition
it is a pesticide
