How do you counsel a patient on low blood sugar in Spanish? In this episode, Daniela Grave plays the role of a doctor counseling a patient with diabetes about hypoglycemia. You'll hear the clinical term "hipoglucemia" alongside the phrase Spanish-speaking patients actually use — "un bajón de azúcar." Then we look at one word that causes real confusion in the exam room: mareo, which can mean vertigo, faintness, or nausea.
