250300C

250300C is a specific designation used in the context of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), a medical classification list by the World Health Organization (WHO). The ICD is used to classify diseases and other health problems recorded on many types of health and vital records. The designation "250300C" falls under the category of "Diabetes mellitus without mention of complication, type 2".

This specific code is used to record cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus, which is characterized by insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency. It is a chronic condition that affects how the body processes glucose, a type of sugar that comes from the food we eat. Type 2 diabetes is often associated with obesity and a sedentary lifestyle, but it can also occur in individuals who are of normal weight and physically active.

The "C" at the end of the code indicates that the diagnosis is based on clinical grounds, meaning that the diagnosis was made by a healthcare professional based on clinical examination and other relevant information, rather than through laboratory testing. This code is used in medical records, research, and public health reporting to standardize the recording of diabetes mellitus cases.

It's important to note that the ICD codes are periodically updated to reflect changes in medical knowledge and practices. Therefore, the specific codes and their meanings may change over time. The information provided here is based on the ICD-10, the tenth revision of the International Classification of Diseases, which was adopted by the WHO in 1994.
