US celebrity chef Paula Deen has Type 2 diabetes

Miss Deen said she was diagnosed during a routine medical exam in 2008. She
faced criticism for having kept the diagnosis private for three years while
still cooking unhealthy food on her show.

She denied hiding the condition to avoid a backlash against her cooking,
adding: “I wanted to bring something to the table when I came forward.”

Miss Deen said she has now become a paid spokesman for drug company Novo
Nordisk, and will promote its diabetes medication and create recipes for its “Diabetes
in a New Light” program.

She said “I’m here today to let the world know that it is not a death
sentence” and added that she supported “eating in moderation.”

The cook said she now walks on a treadmill and has given up drinking sweet tea
in an attempt to live a healthier lifestyle.

But Mr Bourdain said: “When your signature dish is hamburger in between a
doughnut, and you’ve been cheerfully selling this stuff knowing all along
that you’ve got Type 2 diabetes, it’s in bad taste if nothing else.”
