E14.7: Unspecified diabetes mellitus with multiple complications

Unspecified diabetes mellitus with multiple complications refers to a form of diabetes where the type is not specified, but where the disease has led to various health problems. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition that affects the body's ability to process sugar, or glucose, in the blood. Complications associated with this condition may occur when blood sugar levels are not well controlled over a prolonged period. These could involve multiple body systems, including the heart and blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, nerves, and digestive system. Symptoms may be diverse and depend on the type of complications that have developed, such as vision problems if the eyes are affected, or kidney disease leading to swelling in the legs. The progression of this version of diabetes can vary widely, but typically the risk and severity of complications increase with the amount of time a person has lived with diabetes and how well their blood sugar levels have been managed.
