U can code 250.80 and ulcer code

Diabetic ulcers of the lower extremities may result from diabetic neuropathy (250.6x) or diabetic peripheral vascular disease (250.7x). Diabetic ulcers not specified as due to neuropathy or peripheral vascular disease are assigned to the other manifestation code (250.8x). Assign the additional code(s) for the specific site of the ulcer(s) (707.1x). Source: AHA ICD-9-CM CODING HANDBOOK
