Aims:
The objective of this scoping review is to synthesize all of the known information about the relationship between diabetes mellitus and voice quality and to explore its potential applications for new technology.
Methods:
We conducted a scoping literature review of articles published between March 2000 and September 2021 using the following databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase. Additionally, we did a manual search of Google Scholar. The search strategy abides by the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Studies pertaining to the relationship between diabetes and the voice were categorized separately for further evaluation.
Results:
Out of the 2732 originally identified articles, nine were ultimately included in this scoping review. The chosen articles address both diabetes and its impact on a variety of vocal parameters.
Conclusions:
There is currently very little research investigating the relationship between diabetes, neuropathy, and phonatory symptoms. Additionally, existing publications contain some contradictory findings. Further research that incorporates imaging technology is needed to clarify the physiological explanations for the differences observed between healthy individuals and those with diabetes mellitus. Such information can be used to develop noninvasive technology for diabetes diagnosis and monitoring.
