Type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications in remission

This code signifies a patient with a documented history of type 2 diabetes mellitus whose blood glucose levels have returned to normal without ongoing pharmacologic intervention for diabetes management. The patient is considered to be in a state of remission, meaning the disease is currently quiescent and not actively causing complications.

Apply this code when a physician explicitly documents "type 2 diabetes in remission" and there are no current diabetes-related complications. Documentation should clearly indicate that the patient no longer requires medication for glycemic control and maintains normal blood glucose levels through lifestyle modifications alone.

• Do not use this code if the patient is still taking any diabetes medication, even if blood glucose is controlled.
• Verify that no current diabetes-related complications (e.g., neuropathy, retinopathy, nephropathy) are documented, as these would necessitate a different code.
• This code is mutually exclusive with codes for type 2 diabetes with complications or type 2 diabetes without complications not in remission.
