54
Q

With a device that measures your blood sugar level.

A

Con un aparato que mide su nivel de glucosa en la sangre.

55
Q

You prick the tip of your finger with a lancet (which is a small blade), and you obtain a drop of blood.

A

Se pincha la yema del dedo con una lanceta (que es cuchilla pequeña) y obtiene una gota de sangre

56
Q

You place the drop of blood on a test strip, and then you insert this into the device.

A

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

57
Q

The device measures your blood sugar level.

A

El aparato mide su nivel de glucosa en la sangre.

58
Q

How many times a day will I have to check my blood sugar level?

A

¿Cuántas veces al día tendré que revisar mi nivel de glucosa en la sangre, doctora?

59
Q

I want you to check your blood sugar level twice daily.

A

Quisiera que usted revise (chequee) su nivel de glucosa dos veces al día.

60
Q

Once in the morning before eating and once before eating supper.

A

Una vez por la mañana antes de desayunar. Y una vez antes de cenar.

61
Q

And what should I do with the results?

A

¿Y qué debo hacer con los resultados?

62
Q

You should write all your results in this small notebook.

A

Debería apuntar todos los resultados en esta libreta.

63
Q

And you should also write down everything you eat during the day.

A

Y también debe apuntar todo lo que come durante el día.

64
Q

This way, you will learn how diet affects your blood sugar level.

A

Así vas a aprender como la dieta afecta su nivel de glucosa.

65
Q

And how will I know when my glucose level isn’t okay?

A

¿Cómo voy a saber cuando el nivel de glucosa no está bien?

66
Q

We will also provide information regarding ideal results and what to do when your blood sugar level is too high.

A

También le voy a dar información sobre los resultados ideales, y qué debe hacer cuando está muy elevado su nivel de glucosa.

67
Q

Generally, a glucose level between 70 and 140 is ideal. When it goes up to 300, you should call our clinic.

A

Por lo general un nivel de glucosa entre 70 y 140 es ideal. Cuando sube hasta los 300 debería llamar a nuestra oficina.

68
Q

Okay, doctor, I will try to do what you advise.

A

Bueno doctora, intentaré hacer lo que me aconseja.

69
Q

Very good, then I will make an appointment for you in 3 weeks, and I want you to bring this little notebook. Never forget to bring the little notebook.

A

Muy bien, entonces le voy a hacer otra cita en unas 3 semanas, y quiero que traiga la libreta. Nunca olvide traer la libreta.

70
Q

I will also make an appointment for you with one of our nurses who specializes in diabetes and an appointment with our dietitian.

A

También le voy a hacer una cita con uno de nuestros enfermeros que se especializan en la diabetes y una cita con nuestro especialista en dietética.

71

Okay. And I have to go to the lab before my next appointment?

A

Bueno. ¿Y tengo que ir al laboratorio antes de mi próxima cita?

72
Q

Yes, we will do some blood and urine tests.

A

Sí vamos a hacer unos exámenes de sangre y de orina.

73
Q

The blood test is called hemoglobin A1c.

A

El examen de sangre se llama hemoglobina A1c.

74
Q

The hemoglobin A1c will indicate your average blood sugar level over three months.

A

La hemoglobina A1c nos indicará su nivel promedio de glucosa durante 3 meses.

It indicates whether your diabetes is controlled or not. We will do this test every three months and we want the result to always be below 7.

A

Pero veo que a veces antes de cenar, su nivel de azúcar está un poco elevado.

124
Q

I see levels over two hundred.

A

Veo niveles por encima de los doscientos.

125
Q

Yes, doctor, I don’t know why they go up for me so much sometimes.

A

Si doctora….no sé porque se me suben tanto a veces.

126
Q

Well, generally, it’s due to what you eat and how much you are exercising.

A

Pues, por lo general, es debido a lo que come y a cuánto ejercicio está haciendo.

127
Q

Oh, now I understand. Actually, I wasn’t exercising, and on top of that, I ate cookies.

A

Oh, ya entiendo. Realmente no estaba haciendo ejercicio y encima comí galletas.

128
Q

OK, It’s fine, but if you do that often, your diabetes will get worse.

A

Bueno, está bien, pero si lo hace con frecuencia, la diabetes va a empeorar.

129

I advise you to exercise daily and not to eat so many cookies.

A

Le aconsejo hacer ejercicios diarios y no comer tantas galletas.
