Code Description

ICD-10 E09.10 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis without coma.

Key Diagnostic Point:

E09.10 refers to diabetes mellitus that is induced by drugs or chemicals, specifically presenting with ketoacidosis but without the presence of coma. This condition can arise from various pharmacological agents, including corticosteroids, antipsychotics, and certain chemotherapy agents. The pathophysiology involves insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion, leading to elevated blood glucose levels and subsequent ketoacidosis. Patients may present with symptoms such as polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss, and abdominal pain. Management typically includes the administration of insulin to control hyperglycemia and address the ketoacidotic state. Monitoring of blood glucose levels and HbA1c is crucial for assessing long-term glycemic control. Complications can include diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which can lead to severe metabolic disturbances if not promptly treated. Understanding the underlying cause of the drug-induced diabetes is essential for effective management and prevention of recurrence.
