ICD-10 Code E11.69 – Type 2 diabetes mellitus with other specified complication (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E11.69 – Type 2 diabetes mellitus with other specified complication
What it is
This code identifies type 2 diabetes mellitus with a documented complication that is not captured by a more specific diabetes code. Use it when the record clearly links the complication to type 2 diabetes.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. The chart should show type 2 diabetes plus a specified associated problem, such as a diabetes-related complication that is not otherwise classified.
When to use this code
Use E11.69 when the provider documents type 2 diabetes and names another specified complication, but no more specific diabetes code applies. You should code the complication separately when required by the record and coding rules. Check documentation if the relationship to diabetes is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for type 1 diabetes, gestational diabetes, or diabetes without a documented complication. If a more specific E11 code matches the complication, use that code instead.
Coding tip
Link the complication to diabetes only when the provider documentation supports that relationship.
