This morning Paula Deen finally revealed that she has type 2 diabetes. To give credit where it’s due, the National Enquirer (via Celebitchy) broke this story almost a year ago, but Deen refused to comment. Probably because it’s a somewhat awkward situation – our buds at Buzzfeed did a very useful pictorial of Paula’s most famous recipes. Are you craving a hamburger with donuts for buns?

Deen has made millions of dollars with her carby, fried, massively unhealthy food that would make most people ill if they ate it all the time. Celeb chef Anthony Bourdain speculates that she kept mum about her diabetes because she didn’t know how to keep on promoting her insane recipes while admitting that they likely made her sick.

Paula made her admission in conjunction with her new paid spokesperson gig for Novo Nordisk, a diabetes pharmaceutical company. She’s also promoting her new diabetes wellness site. So… start out buying her cookbooks, watching her show, and eating her food, and then you can transfer over to her new site and buy more cookbooks once you get diabetes or heart disease. It’s a win-win! For Paula’s bank account.
