In simple words: This refers to diabetes resulting from another health issue, where swelling in the part of your eye responsible for sharp vision (macular edema) has cleared up after treatment.It's important to note the original cause of the diabetes too.

This code signifies diabetes mellitus stemming from an underlying condition, specifically where diabetic macular edema has resolved following treatment.It's crucial to also code the underlying condition causing the diabetes.

Example 1: A patient with cystic fibrosis develops diabetes and diabetic macular edema. Following treatment with anti-VEGF injections, the macular edema resolves, but the patient continues to require diabetes management and cystic fibrosis treatment.Both E08.37 and the code for cystic fibrosis would be used., A patient undergoing cancer treatment develops diabetes and diabetic macular edema. After successful cancer therapy and macular edema treatment, the edema resolves. Codes for the resolved macular edema, the diabetes due to the malignancy, and the specific cancer type are all necessary., A patient with pancreatitis develops diabetes and diabetic macular edema.After treatment, the edema resolves. Codes for the underlying pancreatitis, the diabetes stemming from it, and the resolved macular edema should all be documented.

Documentation should include details of the underlying condition, the diagnosis and treatment of both the diabetes and the diabetic macular edema, including specifics of the therapies provided, and the resolution of the macular edema.

** Remember to always code the underlying condition (e.g., cystic fibrosis, malignancy, pancreatitis) as the primary diagnosis, followed by the diabetes code (E08.37), and any other related complications.
