Type 1 diabetes mellitus with diabetic autonomic (poly)neuropathy
ICD-10 E10.43 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus with diabetic autonomic (poly)neuropathy.
E10.43 refers to Type 1 diabetes mellitus characterized by the presence of diabetic autonomic neuropathy, a complication that affects the autonomic nervous system. This condition can lead to a variety of symptoms, including gastrointestinal issues, cardiovascular problems, and abnormalities in sweating and temperature regulation. Patients with Type 1 diabetes often experience fluctuations in blood glucose levels, which can exacerbate neuropathic symptoms. The management of this condition typically involves strict glycemic control, often monitored through HbA1c levels, which should ideally be maintained below 7% to minimize complications. Insulin therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for Type 1 diabetes, and adjustments may be necessary to address the autonomic dysfunction. Regular monitoring and comprehensive management strategies are essential to prevent further complications associated with both diabetes and neuropathy.
Detailed records of blood glucose levels, HbA1c results, and treatment plans.
Management of Type 1 diabetes with complications, including neuropathy.
Endocrinologists must ensure comprehensive documentation of all diabetes-related complications.
Thorough neurological assessments and documentation of autonomic symptoms.
Evaluation and management of diabetic neuropathy symptoms.
Neurologists should document the relationship between diabetes control and neuropathic symptoms.
Used for follow-up visits for diabetes management.
Document patient's diabetes management plan and any complications.
Endocrinologists should ensure comprehensive documentation of diabetes control and complications.
Coding E10.43 is crucial for accurately representing the patient's condition, ensuring appropriate treatment plans, and facilitating proper reimbursement for the management of diabetes and its complications.
