District court’s judgment upholding the ALJ’s rejection of plaintiff’s claim for disability insurance benefits is vacated and remanded in light of ALJ’s questionable credibility findings, cursory analysis of symptoms, improper medical determination regarding medication, and selective discussion of the evidence.  ALJ’s determination that plaintiff is not disabled due to her Type 2 diabetes is not supported by substantial evidence.
