Full transcript
Your blood tests show insulin resistance contributing to your weight, so I'd like to start metformin and refer you to a dietitian through Monash Health.
Daktari, je, vikao hivyo vya mtaalamu wa lishe vinagharimu pesa za ziada? Na je, kuna vikao jioni baada ya kazi?
Your dietitian visits are bulk-billed, no extra cost, and the clinic also runs evening appointments on Wednesdays after five for people who work full-time.
Asante, hiyo inasaidia sana. Kuhusu dawa hii ya metformin, je, tumbo kuuma kutanitokea mimi binafsi, au inategemea mtu na mtu?
Stomach upset from metformin isn't guaranteed, it varies person to person. Taking it with meals usually reduces nausea, and most people adjust within two weeks.
Nashukuru kwa maelezo hayo, sitaogopa basi. Je, ninatakiwa kupunguza kilo ngapi, na itachukua muda gani kuona matokeo?
Let's aim for about five kilograms over three months; we'll check your blood sugar and cholesterol again then to see how you're responding.
Sawa, nitajaribu bidii. Je, nirudi lini kwa ukaguzi, na kama dalili zikizidi nifanyeje?
Come back in six weeks for review, but sooner if the nausea doesn't settle or you notice anything unusual.
Asante daktari. Kuhusu rufaa ya mtaalamu wa lishe, je, nitaipata leo, au nitaomba kupitia mtandaoni?
I'll print your dietitian referral now; you can call Monash Health directly this week to book your first evening slot.
Asante sana kwa msaada wako, nitapiga simu Monash Health wiki hii kuweka miadi.
