This study examined the respective contributions of the demographics, medical variables and alexithymia characteristics of young diabetics to their glycaemic control. The goal was to replicate the role of the 'difficulty describing feelings' factor of alexithymia in the prediction of poor glycaemic control as has been found in adult diabetic populations.
