The ICD-10 code for Type 2 diabetes without complications is E11.9. This code is used when a patient has Type 2 diabetes but no additional manifestations or conditions.
E11 is the general ICD-10 category for Type 2 diabetes mellitus. It covers all forms of Type 2 diabetes, with specific sub codes (for example, E11.0-E11.8) used to denote accompanying complications or manifestations.
Yes. "Diabetes mellitus 2" refers to Type 2 diabetes and falls under the E11.x series of ICD-10 codes. You choose the exact code (such as E11.9, E11.65, etc.) based on whether and how the disease is complicating other body systems.
All diabetes mellitus types are classified between E08 and E13 in ICD-10. E08 covers diabetes due to underlying conditions, E09 is drug- or chemical-induced diabetes, E10 is Type 1, E11 is Type 2, E12 is malnutrition-related, and E13 is other specified diabetes.
The ICD-10 code for prediabetes is R73.03, which indicates elevated blood glucose levels that do not yet meet the criteria for a diabetes diagnosis. It's used for monitoring and preventive interventions.
Genetics play a significant role in diabetes risk. If close family members have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, your likelihood of developing it increases. Lifestyle and environmental factors also influence whether the disease manifests.
In Type 2 diabetes, the body becomes resistant to insulin and/or doesn't produce enough of it. Over time, this leads to high blood sugar levels, which can damage blood vessels, nerves, and organs if left unmanaged.
For gestational diabetes, focus on balanced meals with lean proteins (chicken, fish, beans), plenty of non-starchy vegetables, whole grains in controlled portions, and limited added sugars. Spreading carbohydrates evenly across meals helps maintain stable blood sugar.
