DM2

Dm2 or DM2 is an abbreviation used to refer to different topics depending on the context. In medicine, it can denote type 2 diabetes mellitus, while in video gaming it is commonly used as the shorthand for Dungeon Master II. Because DM2 is not a standardized abbreviation, the intended topic is usually clear from the surrounding discussion.

Diabetes mellitus type 2 is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and a progressive decrease in insulin secretion, leading to elevated blood glucose. Risk factors include obesity, physical inactivity, age, and family history; some ethnic groups have higher risk. Diagnosis typically relies on measurements such as HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, or an oral glucose tolerance test. Management emphasizes lifestyle changes and weight management, with metformin commonly used as first-line pharmacotherapy and additional medications or insulin considered as needed. Long-term complications can affect the cardiovascular system, eyes, kidneys, nerves, and feet, and effective control of blood glucose and comorbid conditions reduces risk.

Dungeon Master II: The Legend of Skullkeep is a fantasy role-playing video game released in the early 1990s as the sequel to the original Dungeon Master. Enthusiasts often abbreviate it as DM2. The game features a first-person dungeon-crawling perspective, real-time combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving across a series of interconnected dungeons, appealing to fans of classic action RPGs.
