Type 1 diabetes mellitus with mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy without macular edema (left eye)
ICD-10 E10.3292 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus with mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy without macular edema (left eye).
E10.3292 refers to a specific condition where a patient has Type 1 diabetes mellitus accompanied by mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy in the left eye, without the presence of macular edema. Type 1 diabetes is characterized by the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, leading to absolute insulin deficiency. Diabetic retinopathy is a common complication of diabetes, resulting from damage to the retinal blood vessels. In the case of mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy, there are early signs of retinal damage, such as microaneurysms and retinal hemorrhages, but no significant vision impairment or macular edema. Management of this condition typically involves tight glycemic control, with an HbA1c target of less than 7% to prevent further retinal damage. Insulin therapy is often required to maintain blood glucose levels within the target range. Regular eye examinations are crucial for monitoring the progression of retinopathy and ensuring timely intervention if necessary.
