Diabetes claim

[Michael Navy Vet]

Can you put in a claim for diabetes secondly to be the medicine Seroquel 

[Fat]

I don't think Seroquel is a medical diagnosis.

However the treatment of the medical issue with Seroquel is.

The secondary service connection would be with the injury or sickness treated with Seroquel.

Michael Navy Vet Just to add a little to Fat's response. If the veteran is a Vietnam veteran, it would be presumptive and you have some disabilities that also could be secondary to your diabetes. There are a lot.Peripheral neuropathy, kidney disease, ED, eye/vision problems to name a few. So evaluate your physical conditions and submit a claim accordingly (probably after you win your diabetes claim, IMHO.) If you are not Vietnam, you have to proove you contracted type II while in the service somehow. That would require a nexus letter from a doc. Does your medical records show any kind of diabetes symptoms?

In this search link, there is info as to medical associations of seroquil to diabetes:

You might also want to google quetiapin.

It would take a strong medical opinion from a doctor who might well have access to more prevalent studies on this drug, to associate your diabetes- with no other possible etiology or cause for your diabetes, other than the administration of seroquil (quetiapin)
