Additional Info
- 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
- Use this code to indicate any consequence of overdose of insulin or other anti-diabetes drugs in a non-diabetic
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
- Insulin or antidiabetic drug, adverse effect -- but this would only be coded in a diabetic taking such drugs. In a non-diabetic it would have to be either a poisoning (or a homicide attempt).
Candidate Combined ICD10 codes
- Also code cause -- e.g. Suicide attempt (intentional self-harm)
