E11.7: Type 2 diabetes mellitus with multiple complications
Type 2 diabetes mellitus with multiple complications is a chronic medical condition characterized by the body's ineffective use of insulin, resulting in high blood glucose levels. As this case pertains to multiple complications, it's not only high blood sugar that the patient has to manage but several associated conditions or consequences as well. This can include problems affecting the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves commonly seen in long-term cases. Individuals with this form of diabetes may experience symptoms such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurred vision, and slow-healing wounds. Over time, if left uncontrolled, these complications can worsen and lead to more serious health concerns such as cardiovascular diseases, nerve damage (neuropathy), kidney damage (nephropathy), eye damage (retinopathy), and foot damage, all of which can severely compromise the individual's quality of life.
