A doctor of medical sciences told how diabetes can be recognized by the voice.
Endocrinologist Zukhra Pavlova shared a comment on this topic on her Telegram channel.
Diabetes can be detected by voice with a fairly high degree of accuracy. This is the conclusion reached by Canadian scientists. Their study was published on the Mayo Clinic website.
Pavlova explained that the scientists used artificial intelligence in their work, which analyzed recordings of the voices of healthy people and patients with diabetes. They recorded the same phrase for 14 days.
It turned out that healthy people and diabetics have very different voice volume, pitch and trembling.
For example, men with diabetes experience changes in the volume of their voice, and it may tremble. The accuracy of detecting the disease in the stronger sex was 86%.
In women (89% detection accuracy), the pitch of the voice changes with the disease. Often, it sounds hoarse, and sometimes disappears.
The doctor explained that high blood glucose levels damage muscle fibers, including the vocal cords. The endocrinologist added that diabetics with anxiety or depression experience even more vocal changes.
