Code Description

ICD-10 E09.00 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with hyperosmolarity without nonketotic hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar coma (nkhhc).

Key Diagnostic Point:

E09.00 refers to diabetes mellitus that is induced by drugs or chemicals, characterized by hyperosmolarity without the presence of nonketotic hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar coma (NKHHC). This condition can arise from various medications, including glucocorticoids, thiazide diuretics, and antipsychotics, which can lead to insulin resistance or impaired insulin secretion. Patients may present with elevated blood glucose levels, dehydration, and hyperosmolarity, but without the severe metabolic derangements seen in NKHHC. Management typically involves addressing the underlying cause, adjusting medications, and implementing lifestyle modifications. Monitoring HbA1c levels is crucial for assessing long-term glycemic control, and insulin therapy may be necessary to achieve target glucose levels. Complications can include cardiovascular disease, neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy, necessitating comprehensive management strategies.
