Monitoring Blood Sugar in Spanish

By Doc Molly on May 2, 2016 0

This is the first of a series of lessons available at docmolly.com, where Ángel gives detailed technical instructions to a new diabetic. In this lesson, you will hear Ángel explain how to monitor blood sugar in Spanish. In the premium lessons, he explains how insulin works, how to calculate her insulin dose and how to administer it.

DIÁLOGO

Hola Señora Díaz. Soy el enfermero Ángel.

Hola Ángel. Mucho gusto.

Antes de salir del hospital, necesitamos hablar de cómo usted va a monitorear sus niveles de azúcar en la sangre y cómo va a aplicarse la insulina.

Aquí está un aparato que se llama glucómetro que mide los niveles de azúcar en la sangre.

Usted se pincha la yema del dedo con esta cuchilla pequeña, que se llama lanceta, para obtener una gota de sangre.

Coloque esta gota en una tira de prueba y luego la inserta en el aparato.

El glucómetro mide su nivel de azúcar en la sangre.

¿Cuántas veces al día tengo que checar mi nivel de azúcar en la sangre?

Al principio, usted debe checar su nivel de azúcar antes de cada comida porque va a ajustar su dosis de insulina según su nivel de azúcar.

Ya veo.
