***Am I understanding the above statement correctly? If a patient comes in profoundly hypoglycemic because they have taken their oral hypoglycemics/insulin, and then didn't or couldn't eat (e.g. ++ nausea and vomiting and couldn't keep down food), in addition to using insulin shock in the admit dx's, we should also enter poisoning-hypoglycemics (oral or insulin)-accidental/toxicity as well?

***Insulin shock fits the bill for Debbie's question better than the poisoning code.  If you read the definition of insulin shock, the examples they give include the above scenario and it is the most common reason for hypoglycemia.  I think the poisoning code is more for scenarios where '''too much''' insulin or metformin is given or taken either intentionally, accidentally or iatrogenically. If a pt is too ill to eat, the dosage given was not the problem, just the fact that they cannot eat, so they go into insulin shock because of that.  --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 11:34, 2017 June 28 (CDT)
If the right/normal amount of medication was taken and then the pt could not eat, don't code this poisoning code, just code [[Insulin Shock]].

Poisoning (old)with hypoglycemics such as insulin, metformin, etc.

vs Insulin Shock Dx

Insulin shock can be used if patient goes into insulin shock however, in terms of too much MED, we also want to try and discern if a problem occurred because too much insulin/metformin was intentional, accidental OR iatrogenic.

If the right/normal amount of medication was taken and then the pt could not eat, don't code this poisoning code, just code Insulin Shock.

Hypoglycemics (oral or insulin) - HYPOGLYCEMICS (oral or insulin) - 46100

Hypoglycemics (oral or insulin) - Intentional - 46101

e.g. suicide attempt

Hypoglycemics (oral or insulin) - Accidental/toxicity - 46102

Patient "accidentally" took to much oral med or insulin.

Hypoglycemics (oral or insulin) - Iatrogenic - 46103

when patient is inadvertently given too much Insulin by a health care provider.
