Abnormal test
- This code identifies an abnormal test result, not a disorder.
- The preference is to code the cause of the abnormal test, if known.
- also coding this abnormal test, along with the cause is optional however, it is not necessary.
- When the DX is not known, code likely related other tests and signs and symptoms as Combined ICD10 codes; some likely ones might be listed in #Candidate Combined ICD10 codes.

- Diabetes mellitus, in poor control
