In addition to the headaches caused by blood sugar fluctuations in the daily lives of diabetics, the sound of the voice is often “crash”. Why is it that diabetics get more upset? How should we mitigate it?
Diabetes have two reasons why they are more likely to have a bad voice:
Reason one: mucous membrane dry due to high blood sugar. Diabetes patients tend to have higher levels of blood sugar, leading to a body attempting to remove extra sugar from urine, a process that takes with it a lot of moisture and drys our bodies, including mucous membranes of their throats. Once dry, the mucous membranes can cause acoustic, painful and even muted voice.
Reason two: Increased risk of infection. Diabetes patients are relatively less immune and are more vulnerable to bacteria and viruses. The throat is a portal to the respiratory tract, and if a pathogen invades, it can cause throat infections, causing sore throats, coughs and so many symptoms.
So, what about diabetics in the face of these problems?
Response one: Control the blood sugar. Controlling blood sugar is the key. Through a reasonable diet, regular exercise and necessary medication, we can effectively control blood sugar levels and reduce mucous membrane drying caused by high blood sugar. Good blood sugar control not only alleviates vocal discomfort, but also reduces the risk of diabetes complications.
Response strategy two: Keep your throat wet. It is also important to keep your throat wet. More water can help to alleviate the drying of the throat and can also increase indoor humidity by using humidifiers. In addition, hot tea with honey or lemons is a good way to alleviate larynx discomfort.
Response strategy III: Strengthening hygiene. Improved hygiene is also an effective means of preventing throat infections. The risk of infection can be reduced by working hard to wash hands, avoiding close contact with people suffering from flu, and timely vaccination against influenza.
Dear sugar friends, it’s annoying to have a voice, but if we understand the reasons and take the right response, we can reduce it and keep our throats healthy. Let’s work together to make the sound of our voice pass and to embrace a healthier and more comfortable life!
