E: Ahora límpiese la piel con alcohol y deje que se seque. Sujete un pliegue de piel entre su dedo pulgar y su dedo índice así. Sostenga la jeringa para que la aguja haga un ángulo con la piel así. Introduzca la aguja en la piel y empuje el émbolo para inyectarse toda la insulina.
P: Muy bien.
E: Si hay un poco de sangre cuando se quite la aguja, aplique presión con la telilla de algodón. Después deseche la aguja y la jeringa en un contenedor especial para materiales punzantes. Así.
