  • E10.40 - Type 1 diabetes mellitus with diabetic neuropathy, unspecified: This code refers to type 1 diabetes-related neuropathy where the specific type of neuropathy is not detailed.
  • E10.41 - Type 1 diabetes mellitus with diabetic mononeuropathy: Refers to type 1 diabetes-related neuropathy affecting a single nerve.
  • E10.42 - Type 1 diabetes mellitus with diabetic polyneuropathy: Indicates type 1 diabetes with neuropathy affecting multiple peripheral nerves.
  • E11.40 - Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic neuropathy, unspecified: Represents type 2 diabetes-related neuropathy without specific type detail.
  • E11.42 - Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic polyneuropathy: Refers to type 2 diabetes with neuropathy affecting multiple peripheral nerves.

Clinical information

  • Diabetic neuropathy often starts with numbness, tingling, or pain in the extremities, especially in the feet.
  • The risk of developing neuropathy increases with the duration of diabetes, and poorly managed blood sugar levels accelerate its onset.
  • Apart from peripheral neuropathy, diabetics might also suffer from autonomic, proximal, or focal neuropathies.
  • Regular foot care, including examination for ulcers and infections, is crucial for those with neuropathy.
  • Effective blood sugar management can slow the progression and sometimes even improve symptoms.
  • Treatment approaches include medications (like oral antidiabetic drugs), physical therapy, and in some cases, surgical interventions.

Commonly asked questions

ICD-10-CM codes specific to diabetic neuropathy should be employed in medical documentation when diagnosing, treating, or billing for nerve damage associated with diabetes. This ensures accurate patient records and streamlined healthcare management.

Treatments for diabetic neuropathy include glycemic control via oral hypoglycemic drugs, pain management with medications (e.g., anticonvulsants, antidepressants, opioids), physical therapy, and in severe cases, surgical interventions. Patient education on foot care and routine check-ups is also essential.

A diagnosis code for diabetic neuropathy provides a standardized representation of the presence and type of nerve damage associated with diabetes in a patient. It is pivotal in clinical care, research, and administrative activities like insurance billing.
