Your HbA1c level is 8.2 percent, which indicates Type 2 diabetes. This means your blood sugar has been elevated over the past three months.
तुमची HbA1c पातळी 8.2 टक्के आहे, जे टाइप 2 मधुमेह दर्शवते. याचा अर्थ गेल्या तीन महिन्यांत तुमची रक्तातील साखर जास्त होती.

Does Type 2 diabetes mean injections for life?
टाइप 2 मधुमेह म्हणजे आयुष्यभर इंजेक्शन घ्यायला लागतील का?
English speaker → interpret to Marathi
Not necessarily. Type 2 diabetes can be managed very well with lifestyle changes like reducing sugar and carbohydrates, and walking 30 minutes daily.
आवश्यक नाही. टाइप 2 मधुमेह साखर आणि कर्बोदके कमी करणे, रोज 30 मिनिटे चालणे यांसारख्या जीवनशैली बदलांनी खूप चांगल्या प्रकारे नियंत्रित केला जाऊ शकतो.

I will walk daily. Is medication needed?
मी रोज चालायला जाईन. औषध लागेल का?

I am prescribing Metformin 500mg twice daily with meals. This helps your body use insulin more effectively. We will also refer you to a diabetes educator covered by Medicare.
मी जेवणासोबत दिवसातून दोनदा Metformin 500mg लिहून देत आहे. हे तुमच्या शरीराला इन्सुलिन अधिक प्रभावीपणे वापरण्यास मदत करते. आम्ही तुम्हाला Medicare अंतर्गत मधुमेह शिक्षकाकडेही पाठवू.

Why a diabetes educator? What do they teach?
मधुमेह शिक्षक का? ते काय शिकवतात?

They will teach you to monitor blood sugar at home, read food labels, and plan meals. These sessions are bulk-billed so there is no cost to you.
ते तुम्हाला घरी रक्तातील साखर तपासणे, अन्न लेबल वाचणे आणि जेवणाचे नियोजन करणे शिकवतील. हे सत्र बल्क-बिल केले जातात त्यामुळे तुम्हाला खर्च नाही.
