This PA always assigns ICD-9 codes for Diabetes. The latest entry is diabetic foot ulcer-uncontrolled. This patient was seen today. No labs were drawn for today's encounter but in looking at previous labs (09-19-12) glucose levels were high-270. Based upon those lab values todays encounter is DM-uncontrolled.

Does anyone know if those September lab values are still valid to code to uncontrolled diabetes for today's encounter? Any help is appreciated.Thanks.
