Remember eating is a new experience for you. This is the same as experiencing foods for the first time. What you get used to now will become the norm.
• While you are going through the first two weeks start looking around at how you will substitute food. Ensure you look at the recipes on the diabetichealthclinic.org web site. These are all safe to eat.
