Hypoglycemia status post accidental insulin overdose

Posted on by
a patient with diabetes 2 accidentally took a higher dose of insulin and as a result ended up with hypoglycemia.

So would these be the correct ICD 10 CM codes? I feel I am being redundant but not sure how else I would code it.
T383x1A
E116.49
E16.0

Thank you

Coding for Drug induced Hypoglycemia

Posted on by
Admitting and Discharge Dx is "Hypoglycemia" with notes stating that, he may have had a side effect from Darbepoetin (given in ER) vs accidental ingestion of his wife’s glyburide.
Proper way to code would be E16.0 Drug-induced hypoglycemia without coma, (per guidelines: Use additional code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug).
So I will add T45.8X1A Poisoning by antianemic agents and T38.3X1A Poisoning by antidiabetic oral drugs???
Please help.

Diabetes Coding for Hyperglycemia and Hypoglycemia

Posted on by
If a patient has been hypoglycemic for past several visits and medication changes were made then patient presents to clinic and is hyperglycemic, how would you code the diagnosis for this visit?

My provider thinks it should be coded DM Type II with hypoglycemia and DM Type II with Hyperglycemia due to being hypoglycemic in the past. Thanks for any guidance.
