Full transcript
Thanks for coming in, Mr. Papadakis. Your recent blood test showed your blood sugar is a little higher than normal, so let's discuss some changes.
Δεν το περίμενα αυτό, γιατρέ. Τρώω σχεδόν τα ίδια φαγητά εδώ και χρόνια. Τι πρέπει να αλλάξω ακριβώς;
Your weight is also a factor — losing even five kilograms can improve your blood sugar. Bankstown Hospital runs a free program teaching healthier meal planning.
Δεν θέλω να παρατήσω το παραδοσιακό μας φαγητό, αλλά θα δοκιμάσω το πρόγραμμα αν βοηθήσει.
That's understandable — we can adjust recipes rather than remove them. I'd also recommend walking thirty minutes a day, five days a week, to help control your blood sugar levels.
Το γόνατό μου πονάει μερικές φορές. Αν δεν μπορώ να περπατήσω κάθε μέρα, τι άλλο μπορώ να κάνω;
If walking isn't comfortable, swimming or water aerobics at your local pool would be gentler on your knees while still helping manage your weight and sugar levels.
Αυτό μου φαίνεται καλύτερο. Πότε πρέπει να έρθω ξανά για έλεγχο;
Let's book a follow-up appointment in six weeks to check your blood sugar again and see how the new routine is working for you.
Ο πατέρας μου είχε διαβήτη. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι θα το πάρω κι εγώ σίγουρα;
Not necessarily — family history increases risk, but it doesn't guarantee diabetes. Cutting sugary drinks and staying active can significantly lower your chances of developing it.
Εντάξει, θα προσπαθήσω να ακολουθήσω τις οδηγίες σας και θα έρθω στο ραντεβού σε έξι εβδομάδες.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
