Fecha/hora de inicio del episodio de cetoacidosis diabética: %dt
El valor de glucosa sanguínea más reciente que se tomó antes de este episodio:
Fecha y hora: %dt1
Valor de la glucosa sanguínea: %g %u
Momento: %tp
This is from instructions for a patient-completed survey. As you can see, Date/Time (Fecha/hora) is used. I don't know why they would ask for the time of the blood glucose measurement three times and use different words for the 3rd one. I have been translating "momento" as "time" also, but feel like there may be a better or more specific term that I could use.
The source language is Colombian Spanish. The survey is to be read to the patient; the patient may be a child.
I have seen the KUDOS responses that give "instance" as a translation for "momento." I'm wondering if there is anything that is related to diabetes care/testing that applies.

Note from asker:
| Thank you, Kathryn. This is what I'm looking for, I believe. I did try NIH, but I must not have had the right search words.... |
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Charles Davis
: And that, presumably, explains tp: time point

Thanks, Charles. Yes, I'm fairly certain that tp = time point.

|
| agree |
Helena Chavarria
: I agree with momento = time point, though I'm not sure about 'percentage of time point - %tp'. Unless '%' doesn't mean 'percentage' in this case.

Thanks, Helena. It appears that % doesn't refer to a percentage in any of the fields. If, like Teressa said, all abbreviations after the % are in English and dt = date/time, then %dt1, for example, can't express a percentage.

| I think all the letters that follow the % sign are English abbreviations. But I will add this to my glossary. Thanks. |
