SUMMARY Diabetes and alexythimia: current state and perspectives The article aims to present the current clinical and theoretical contributions related to the possible presence of alexithymia in diabetic patients. It tried to verify the possible influence of personality factors in the development of diabetes, highlighting the comorbidity and wanting to prove whether the factors can be cause or effect of the disease. It was also shown how the presence of this factor in diabetic subjects correlates with glycemic control and sometimes with other diseases. It is suggested, for future research, to deepen the nature of the relationship between alexithymia and diabetes considering what factor is most responsible for the report.
