Limitations of Indicator

Identifying diabetes through diagnosis codes rather than labs leads to an underestimate of the prevalence of diabetes.

Analytic Considerations

In published literature, diabetes is diagnosed by ICD-9-CM or ICD-10-CM codes in alternate ways (one outpatient, two or more outpatient or one inpatient). Care must be taken in comparisons.

250; 357.2; 362.0; 366.41

ICD-10-CM Codes for Diabetes

E08.311-E08.36; E08.40; E08.42; E09.311-E09.36; E09.40; E09.42; E10.10-E13.9
