FYI... millions of Americans over the age of 40 have "adult onset" or type II diabetes and don't know it... you may have it... the initial symptoms are subtle... they include fatigue, thirst, excessive need to urinate, unexplained weight loss or gain... a simple blood test can tell... if your blood sugar level stays elevated... you have it... if you don't take care of it, you can eventually go blind, lose you legs through amputation, or die much too young... see your doctor for a blood test today...
If you served "in country" and have developed diabetes... you are "presumed to have a claim" with the VA... the VA now says that exposure to agent orange can cause diabetes... if the VA is admiting anything there must be plenty of proof... contact your local VA office for info on filing a claim...
Take care of yourselves, my brothers... we didn't make it back to the world to loose our sight, legs or life now...
