“The diabetes mellitus codes are combination codes that include the type of diabetes mellitus, the body system affected, and the complications affecting that body system.”
“They should be sequenced based on the reasons for a particular encounter.”
“The age of a patient is not the sole determining factor, though most type 1 diabetics develop the condition before reaching puberty. For this reason type 1 diabetes mellitus is also referred to as juvenile diabetes.”
“If the type of diabetes mellitus is not documented in the medical record the default is E11.-, Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
