The degree of alexithymia in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and its association with medical and demographic parameters
AIM: To study the degree of alexithymia (an inability to understand and to express emotions verbally) and its relationship to medical and demographic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) versus control group individuals.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS: 265 patients with type 2 DM and 65 gender- and age-matched control individuals were examined. The degree of alexithymia was rated by the 26-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-26). Survey, anthropometry, and laboratory tests were made.
RESULTS: Carbohydrate metabolism was decompensated in the majority of the patients with DM; its complications were detected in most cases. The patients with type 2 DM compared with the controls had higher alexithymia levels; significant alexithymia was more frequently recorded (47.2% versus 21.5%; p < 0.001). In patients with type 2 DM, the degree of alexithymia correlated positively with depression and DM complications (with depression in the control group) and negatively with higher education and compensated carbohydrate metabolism.
CONCLUSION: Higher alexithymia in the patients with type 2 DM was associated with decompensated carbohydrate metabolism and the presence of complications.
