Type 1 diabetes w oth diabetic neurological complication

This code identifies Type 1 diabetes where the patient is experiencing neurological issues not specifically classified as neuropathy, retinopathy, or nephropathy. This could encompass a range of central or peripheral nervous system complications directly attributable to their diabetic condition.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states Type 1 diabetes and a neurological complication such as diabetic amyotrophy, mononeuropathy multiplex, or other specified neurological conditions directly linked to the diabetes, excluding the more common diabetic neuropathies. Ensure the physician explicitly links the neurological finding to the patient's Type 1 diabetes.

• Do not use for diabetic polyneuropathy; refer to codes in the E10.42 category.
• Requires physician documentation explicitly stating the neurological complication is due to Type 1 diabetes.
• Sequence this code after the primary diagnosis if the neurological complication is a manifestation of another condition.
