I agree with 1CAV about diabetes and high fever. I've never heard or read anything that links the two. Of course if he served in Vietnam, he can apply for Service Connection for diabetes based on exposure to Agent Orange.
You're right regarding VA disability ratings, there is no 15%. Disability Ratings are in increments of 10%.
If your friend is interested in getting his meds for diabetes from VA, the first question would be Is he enrolled in the VA system?
If he is then he can get the meds if he is willing to pay the copayment ($7 per 30 day supply). If he isn't, then the 1st thing to do is to enroll.
