Introduction: Professional burnout is an emotional and physical exhaustion closely related to stress that is not well managed. Initially considered to be specific to medical professionals, today burnout is spoken about in all spheres of social life. The development of the syndrome involves the physical condition, but outgrows or runs parallel to a dysfunctional change in the behavior of those affected.Aim: The aim of this article is to analyze the relationship between burnout and metabolic disorders.Materials and Methods: To achieve the goal, an analysis of the PubMed and Google Scholar databases by keywords has been conducted. Results: Burnout is a result of occupational stress that is not well managed. Subjects with occupational burnout experience emotional exhaustion, which often develops into physical symptoms. Changes in sleep and exhaustion are more often detected in these individuals, which often develop into metabolic disorders. Studies prove a relationship between a high level of occupational stress and a number of markers: increased blood pressure (p = 0.0), visceral obesity (p = 0.03), low HDL (p = 0.02), glycated hemoglobin, etc.High levels of occupational stress are associated with low motivation to build healthy habits. A link between diabetes and burnout has been observed in the literature, both in patients and in their relatives. In this case, occupational burnout is a product of the need to conduct activities to control the condition. The main guidelines related to the development of diabetes burnout are: feelings of mental exhaustion and physical fatigue from self-care related to the condition, neglecting the condition, withdrawal from care and support for the diabetic patient, feeling powerless to deal with diabetic burnout, individual characteristics of the life-like situation, as a result of which the control and aggravation of the condition is reached.Conclusion: Burnout can be a cause of metabolic disorders. On the other hand, diabetic patients and their relatives often suffer from burnout caused by the need to control the condition. It is necessary to carry out measures for the prevention of professional burnout to prevent the development of metabolic disorders, but also to help diabetic patients in the fight against the disease
