E14: Unspecified diabetes mellitus
Unspecified diabetes mellitus, as the name suggests, is a form of diabetes that isn't categorized as type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes. Its exact cause isn't known, but like all forms of diabetes, it involves issues with the body's ability to produce or use insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels. These levels, if consistently elevated, can cause damage to various systems of the body, including the heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves, and blood vessels. Common symptoms are often similar to those of other forms of diabetes and might include frequent urination, excessive thirst, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, and blurred vision. The progression of the disease can differ greatly between individuals and can depend on a variety of factors, including the person's overall health, lifestyle, and the effectiveness of their diabetes management.
