Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with other circulatory complications
ICD-10 E09.59 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with other circulatory complications.
E09.59 refers to diabetes mellitus that is induced by drugs or chemicals, which can lead to various complications, particularly affecting the circulatory system. This condition is often seen in patients who are undergoing treatment with certain medications, such as glucocorticoids, antipsychotics, or other agents that can disrupt glucose metabolism. The resulting diabetes may present with elevated HbA1c levels, indicating poor glycemic control. Patients may experience complications such as peripheral vascular disease, hypertension, or other circulatory issues, which can exacerbate the overall health status and complicate management. Insulin management may be necessary, especially if the diabetes is severe or if the patient has a history of insulin resistance. It is crucial for healthcare providers to monitor HbA1c levels regularly and adjust treatment plans accordingly to mitigate the risk of further complications.
Detailed medication history, HbA1c levels, and management plans.
Patients presenting with new-onset diabetes after starting corticosteroids.
Ensure clear documentation of the relationship between medication and diabetes onset.
Assessment of circulatory complications and their management.
Patients with diabetes presenting with peripheral artery disease.
Document the impact of diabetes on cardiovascular health.
Used for follow-up visits for diabetes management.
Document history, examination, and medical decision-making.
Endocrinologists should focus on medication adjustments and HbA1c monitoring.
Common drugs include glucocorticoids, antipsychotics, and certain diuretics, which can affect insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism.
