Both forms are used in English, hence the abbreviation to DM- I do agree, though, that in this context diabetes mellitis is much more likely!

Note from asker:
| This is the only thing I have and that makes me think it is related to cardio or arterial disorders......"no Arterial Hipertensión, no DM, no personal history of ischemic cardiopathy" |
| Myotonic Dystrophy? I think you should modify your answer to English my luv :-)) |
