E10.7: Type 1 diabetes mellitus with multiple complications
Type 1 diabetes mellitus with multiple complications is a chronic condition that results from the body's inability to produce insulin—a hormone needed to turn food into energy. Though primarily diagnosed in children and young adults, it can develop at any age. Complications arise when blood sugar levels are not well controlled over time, affecting various body systems. Potential complications can include heart and blood vessel disease, nerve damage (neuropathy), kidney damage (nephropathy), eye damage, foot damage, skin and mouth conditions, and pregnancy complications. People with this condition may experience an array of symptoms such as continual thirst, frequent urination, severe hunger, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, and blurred vision. Over the years, the disease can progress, and symptoms may become more severe and complications more numerous if not adequately managed.
