How would you code venous stasis ulcer as a manifestation of diabetes and non-healing wounds of toes also as a manifestation of diabetes

I would use 250.8x and 454.0. Code 250.8x is for "other" specified manifestations so I would feel comfortable coding it this way as long as the physician is linking the two.
