This is the 4th podcast in our series on Insulin. Ángel explains to Mrs Diaz, a newly diagnosed diabetic, how to give herself an insulin injection. He covers where to inject the insulin, rotating injection sites, and proper disposal of sharp materials. This podcast is only intended to teach Spanish. You should consult with a medical professional before using insulin.

Introduzca la aguja en la piel y empuje el émbolo para inyectarse toda la insulina.

Muy bien.
Ok.
Si hay un poco de sangre cuando se quite la aguja, aplique presión con la telita de algodón.
If there is a little blood when you remove the needle, apply pressure with the cotton pad.
Después deseche la aguja y la jeringa en un contenedor especial para materiales punzantes. Así.
