text: i am told that agent orange spraying in vietnam caused me to be a diabetic. how did it cause this? please don't tell me  agent orange didn't cause me to be a diabetic as the goverment has given me 10% from the v.a.my question is how did the spraying of agent orange cause diabetices in so many nam vets. thanks for ur help. anything is possible in medicine and science.  i mean anything.  people have been known to be allergic to benedryl!  so agent orange causing diabetes...possible.  my guess would be not, but what i would do would be to research for any studies linking agent orange to physical harm in humans.  i would go to my local university library and research things to take to a lawyer.  the lawyer can then review your research and tell you if any other proceedings have occured due to agent orange.  good luck sir.
