I have type II diabetes too and YES you can eat anything you want but in moderation. MODERATION is the key. Sugar doesn't cause diabetes. So you can eat her food but measure what you eat, count carbs, exercise and get some weight off. It isn't the end of the world.
I can't eat a single one of her dishes - and God knows I've had aunts prepare them for family get-togethers - they are just *awful*!
Sugar, sugar and a touch of MORE sugar and some trans-fats thrown in to boot.
I'm not at all surprised she's diabetic. If I ate as much 'yummy sugar' as is in her meals, I'd end up diseased too.
Just wait. Come 2014 when the mandated insurance requirements hit and we're totally enslaved to insurers - they are going to have a field day with making premiums rise in order to pay for the medical costs for everyone that chooses Mrs. Deans style of self-abuse.
We're ALL going to have skin in the medical BILL game remember?
Once that happens, will the public still be rooting for those who eat themselves into disease and raise everyone else's premiums?
I love Paula Deen's cooking, she is the BEST..... I hope she can do some great recipe for diabetes too, and I'm sure she will come up with some good ones. Wishing you all the Best Paula : )
