I was taught in ICD-9 that you do not code for insulin use in Type 1 diabetics as it was assumed it was necessary for life, but do code in Type 2's that use insulin, as not all of them use insulin. In the ICD-10 book, it says under E80 Diabetes Mellitus to use additional code to identify any insulin use. Does this mean that any diabetic on insulin, regardless of Type 1 or 2, now needs insulin use coded?
