Subject: Could she be saying Lantus insulin

and then the numbers are blood sugar numbers and what to do if they are in between those particular numbers, but I think you are missing how many units at 151-206, try to hear 200, 6 units, 201-258, maybe 250 with 8 units and after the 300 give units? but how many? Hope this is not more confusing.

I can't discern this, but think she may be saying buformin. However, it sounds more like 'the formin' or maybe 'his formin', which my spellchecker seems to be okay with, but I am unable to document through other sources. Is formin by itself a medication?

TIA for any help!
