Type 1 diabetes mellitus with diabetic neuropathy, unsp

This code signifies a diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes mellitus complicated by diabetic neuropathy, where the specific type of neuropathy (e.g., polyneuropathy, autonomic neuropathy) is not documented. It indicates nerve damage resulting from long-standing or poorly controlled Type 1 diabetes.

Use this code when the medical record clearly states Type 1 diabetes and mentions "diabetic neuropathy" without further specification of the neuropathy type. This is appropriate when the provider has diagnosed neuropathy but has not elaborated on its specific manifestation.

• Always attempt to query for a more specific type of diabetic neuropathy if documentation is vague.
• Do not use this code if the neuropathy is clearly documented as a specific type (e.g., diabetic polyneuropathy, diabetic autonomic neuropathy).
• This code requires an additional code to identify any associated manifestations of the neuropathy, if specified.
