AB  - INTRODUCTION: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex and demanding chronic 
      condition resulting from the body's inability to adequately produce and or 
      effectively utilize insulin. A wide variety of lifestyle factors are of great 
      importance to the development of T2DM, such as sedentary lifestyle, obesity, 
      physical inactivity, smoking and alcohol consumption. An emerging body of 
      literature suggests that stress and traumatic experiences have a role in the 
      aetiology of T2DM. METHODS: We recruited a sample of 52 patients with a diagnosis 
      of T2DM and a control group of 48 subjects. Using the Traumatic Experience 
      Checklist (TEC), the Childhood Experience of Care and Abuse Questionnaire 
      (CECA-Q), and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC 25), we investigated 
      the presence of history of traumatic experiences and of childhood experience of 
      neglect and abuse. RESULTS: We found that patients with a diagnosis of T2DM have 
      a higher number of traumatic experiences in their personal history, when compared 
      to the control group. DISCUSSION: Traumatic experiences or sustained stress 
      exposure may contribute to the onset of T2DM. Neuro-inflammatory and 
      psychoanalytic factors will be discussed to explain such association. CONCLUSION: 
      We conclude that factors that determine high levels of resiliency can have a 
      protective effect against the development of T2DM while stress and the consequent 
      inflammation can contribute to the development of depression and T2DM. These 
      biological features are analyzed in the psychoanalytical context of theories from 
      Freud, Mahler, and Kohut.
