E12.6: Malnutrition-related diabetes mellitus with other specified complications
Malnutrition-related diabetes mellitus with other specified complications is a specific medical condition characterized by high blood sugar levels arising due to either inadequate nutritional intake or faulty absorption and metabolism of nutrients. This diabetic state provokes other distinct health complications that have been specifically identified by the healthcare provider, but not explicitly mentioned in the diagnosis term. The components leading to this condition may include an inadequate diet, gastrointestinal issues causing poor nutrient absorption, or metabolic abnormalities. The high blood sugar can result in symptoms typical to diabetes such as frequent urination, excessive thirst, fatigue, blurred vision, and slow healing of wounds. Meanwhile, the other complications produced by diabetes could affect various systems in the body based on their nature and extent. Overall, it is a condition encompassing a malnourished state, diabetic symptoms, and additional health irregularities.
