The Daily reported last week that Paula Deen would soon be coming clean with her type 2 diabetes diagnosis, and today that's exactly what she did. Today she launched a new diabetes-drug site and hit this morning, opened up to USA Today. And she's been trying to keep it a secret — until now. Deen "is about to come and confess that she can’t eat her own dishes not anymore because she diagnosed has diabetes." Reported in the National Inquirer the same story , but now the Daily says Deen is poised to come out with the news because she's worked out the deal to be the spokeswoman for a pharmaceutical company" that will see her pushing the Novartis diabetes medication she takes.
Deen tells USA Today about her decision not to say something sooner: "I felt like I had nothing to offer anybody other than the announcement. I wasn't armed with enough knowledge. I knew when it was time; it would be in God's time."Neither Deen, nor her team, is talking, but sources familiar with the situation confirm the diagnosis rumors for Grub Street. It makes sense: Deen made a mountain of money peddling her butter-soaked food, and now she's poised to make even more dealing with the aftereffects.
Deen's kitchen has a reputation for the fatty, the buttery and the over-the-top pointed out that just a few notorious recipes have included fried stuffing on a stick, ribs casserole and red velvet cake. But will the diagnosis change the way she cooks? Some believe she has a responsibility to model healthier behaviors for her viewers.
