*This | *This code merely indicates that an overdose has occurred, NOT to be confused with '''[[Insulin or antidiabetic drug, adverse effect]]''' | ||
*As appropriate, combine it with the manifestations of the overdose, e.g. '''[[Diabetic coma]]''' OR '''[[Hypoglycemia]]''' | |||
*There are 3 interdigitating codes related to diabetic complications and drug overdoses: (i) '''[[Insulin or other antidiabetes drug, overdose/toxicity]], (ii) [[Hypoglycemia, in diabetes]], and (iii) [[Diabetic coma]]''' | |||
*[[Insulin or other antidiabetes drug, overdose/toxicity]] | |||
**Use this code to indicate any consequence of overdose of insulin or other anti-diabetes drugs '''in a non-diabetic''' | |||
***Including hypoglycemic coma due to such an overdose in a non-diabetic -- i.e. do not use '''[[Diabetic coma]]''' in that situation, which is only for diabetics | |||
**Use this code for a person WITH diabetes who overdoses on such a drug and has a consequence OTHER THAN severe hypoglycemia/hypoglycemic consequences, you can combine this code with a code for that consequence (e.g. severe lactic acidosis from metformin, in which case you'd link this code to '''[[Acidosis, NOS]]''' to indicate the lactic acidosis) | |||
***If a person takes a normal dose of a diabetes drug and has an adverse effect, then combine the code for that reaction with '''[[Insulin or antidiabetic drug, adverse effect]]''' | |||
**You can combine this code with either one or even both of '''[[Hypoglycemia, in diabetes]] or [[Diabetic coma]]''' if appropriate | |||
