Severe malnutrition due to type 2 diabetes mellitus Soft tissue complication of diabetes mellitus References found for the code E11.69 in the Index of Diseases and Injuries: If you have diabetes, your blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels are too high. Over time, this can cause problems with other body functions, such as your kidneys, nerves, feet, and eyes. Having diabetes can also put you at a higher risk for heart disease and bone and joint disorders. Other long-term complications of diabetes include skin problems, digestive problems, sexual dysfunction, and problems with your teeth and gums. Very high or very low blood sugar levels can also lead to emergencies in people with diabetes. The cause can be an underlying infection, certain medicines, or even the medicines you take to control your diabetes. If you feel nauseated, sluggish or shaky, seek emergency care. NIH: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases Diabetes - preventing heart attack and stroke (Medical Encyclopedia) Diabetes: Dental Tips - NIH (National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research) Diabetic hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome (Medical Encyclopedia) Diabetic ketoacidosis (Medical Encyclopedia) Diabetes means your blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels are too high. With type 2 diabetes, the more common type, your body does not make or use insulin well. Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose get into your cells to give them energy. Without insulin, too much glucose stays in your blood. Over time, high blood glucose can lead to serious problems with your heart, eyes, kidneys, nerves, and gums and teeth. You have a higher risk of type 2 diabetes if you are older, obese, have a family history of diabetes, or do not exercise. Having prediabetes also increases your risk. Continue reading >>

Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a potentially life-threatening complication of diabetes mellitus.[1] Signs and symptoms may include vomiting, abdominal pain, deep gasping breathing, increased urination, weakness, confusion, and occasionally loss of consciousness.[1] A person's breath may develop a specific smell.[1] Onset of symptoms is usually rapid.[1] In some cases people may not realize they previously had diabetes.[1] DKA happens most often in those with type 1 diabetes, but can also occur in those with other types of diabetes under certain circumstances.[1] Triggers may include infection, not taking insulin correctly, stroke, and certain medications such as steroids.[1] DKA results from a shortage of insulin; in response the body switches to burning fatty acids which produces acidic ketone bodies.[3] DKA is typically diagnosed when testing finds high blood sugar, low blood pH, and ketoacids in either the blood or urine.[1] The primary treatment of DKA is with intravenous fluids and insulin.[1] Depending on the severity, insulin may be given intravenously or by injection under the skin.[3] Usually potassium is also needed to prevent the development of low blood potassium.[1] Throughout treatment blood sugar and potassium levels should be regularly checked.[1] Antibiotics may be required in those with an underlying infection.[6] In those with severely low blood pH, sodium bicarbonate may be given; however, its use is of unclear benefit and typically not recommended.[1][6] Rates of DKA vary around the world.[5] In the United Kingdom, about 4% of people with type 1 diabetes develop DKA each year, while in Malaysia the condition affects about 25% a year.[1][5] DKA was first described in 1886 and, until the introduction of insulin therapy in the 1920s, it was almost univ Continue reading >>

VICC advises to apply rule 3 of ACS 0401 and follow Index entry Diabetes/with/acidosis - see also Diabetes/with/ketoacidosis. As there is no subterm for 'respiratory' or default code under Index entry Diabetes/with/acidosis, follow the 'see also' note which says 'see also Diabetes/with/ketoacidosis' to assign E1-.11 Diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis, without coma. You may wish to submit a public submission to ACCD if you consider that the Index entry needs improvement to reflect respiratory acidosis. Following publication Continue reading >>

Coding Tip: Reporting Diabetic Ketoacidosis (dka)
Coding Tip: Reporting Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) How do coders report diabetic ketoacidosis in ICD-10-CM? For FY2018 there is a new code to report Type 2 diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). This was previously reported with code E13.1-, other specified diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis with or without coma. Now, there is a code specifically for reporting this diagnosis. E11.1- is used to report Type 2 diabetes with DKA with or without coma. DKA is life threatening complication in patients with diabetes. This typically occurs in patients with type 1 diabetes but can also be found in patients with type 2. When a patient has DKA it is implied that they also have hyperglycemia so no additional code is needed to report that the diabetes is with hyperglycemia. A separate standalone code for hyperglycemia is also not reported and there is an excludes1 note in the tabular. DKA occurs when the body produces high levels of blood acids known as ketones. This develops when the body isnt producing enough insulin. When the body does not produce or have enough insulin, the body begins to break down fat as fuel. When the body switches to burning fat this produces a buildup of acids that are called ketones. Excess ketones build up and are spilled over into the urine. Certain medication uses especially steroids and diuretics Insulin is given to reverse the process that caused the patient to go into DKA. In severe cases, this will be given intravenously. Once the blood sugar levels fall to be below 240 mg/dL and the blood is no longer acidic, regular insulin therapy can be resumed. Fluid and electrolytes will also be replaced. The fluids are given either via mouth or IV and are given to replace the fluid lost through excessive urination. The fluid replacement will also help to dilute the exc Continue reading >>

Diabetes Mellitus Icd-10 Case Study | Practice Fusion
A 40-year-old male presents in his physicians office with complaints of new onset of excessive thirst, urinary frequency and fatigue. His physician ran several tests and based on the results he diagnosed his patient with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The value of describing patient conditions with ICD-10 codes as compared to ICD-9 codes is made evident when comparing codes available for specific conditions. A common disease affecting millions of patients is diabetes mellitus. According to the American Diabetes Association, Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. The chronic hyperglycemia of diabetes is associated with long-term damage, dysfunction, and failure of various organs, especially the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels. In spite of the significant prevalence of this disease, ICD-9 codes describing this condition lack specificity, resulting in the lumping of many patients into broad categories that are not as useful for comparisons and quality measures as ICD-10 codes will be once implemented. Patients with diabetes mellitus are most often described with two ICD-9 codes. ICD-9 codes in the 250xx series describe primary diabetes of all types. Codes in the 249xx group describe secondary diabetes without information regarding the underlying cause of the diabetes. Each series includes a general description of a few complications that may be associated with this disease without detailed descriptions of those complications. These codes lack the specificity necessary to fully document patients medical conditions. The ICD-10 Index includes approximately six pages of specific listings for diabetes and its various clinical manifestations. Almost all of Continue reading >>

2018 Icd-10 Update Part 3: New Codes For Diabetes, Myopia Start October 1st
2018 ICD-10 Update Part 3: New Codes for Diabetes, Myopia Start October 1st | 2018 ICD-10 Update Part 3: New Codes for Diabetes, Myopia Start October 1st September 28, 2017 | Rhonda Buckholtz, CPC, CPCI, CPMA, CDEO, CRC, CHPSE, COPC, CENTC, CPEDC, CGSC, VP of Practice Optimization, Eye Care Leaders Like most eye care practices, you likely treat patients with co-morbid conditions. The patient population of many practices is often older than average, and many times chronically ill. So, correctly coding for co-morbidity is essential in avoiding costly revenue leaks that could drain cash from your practice. Recent studies have shown that the number of type 2 patients presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis has been increasing, and thats one reason for the new DKA codes. Prior to the 2018 revisions, the best coding option to describe a patient with type 2 DKA was E11.69 (Type 2 diabetes mellitus with other specified complication). Beginning October 1, 2017, youll see a new subdivision among the E11 (Type 2 diabetes mellitus) codes: E11.1 (Type 2 diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis). This new subdivision includes two codes: Other DKA-related additions occur in the following code series: E08 (Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition) E09 (Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus) E13 (Other specified diabetes mellitus ) All four series contain XXX.1 ( with ketoacidosis) as a subdivision containing two codes: Updates for Coding Medical Management of Diabetes General guidelines for coding diabetes mellitus and secondary diabetes mellitus instruct coders how to report the medical management of diabetes.
