Having a issue with the E11.69 diabetes with specified complications. If the patient has diabetes and hypercholesterolemia, is the relationship assumed if not linked in documentation? I say no. If hyperlipidemia is not assumed, how can high cholesterol? Some are disagreeing with me. Please help.

This is just my opinion, but I would not assume a relationship. I would think more like a distant cousin and not a immediate family member or complication of diabetes. Curious to see what others would say about this.
