If you are to be separated for diabetes, it needs to be via MEB/PEB and you must ensure your MEB documents the truth well to help ensure you get the right rating. Too often bad ratings are nothing more than a result of bad documentation.
Make sure all your medical conditions are covered in your MEB. Diabetes is tough to qualify for a 40% rating because of the Navy PEB's strict definition of "regulation of strenuous occupational and recreational activities”. By ensuring your MEB includes all conditions, you can increase your odds of getting a disability rating of 30% or more.
Your MEB states you cannot due PFR's which is a indicator that you in fact have a medical necessity to avoid strenuous recreational and occupational activities. If such is the case, and it is not properly covered and documented in your MEB, you will be screwed out of a retirement level rating.
