Diabetes... What Diabetes? Paula Deen Wolfs Down Greasy Cheeseburger & Fries

Diabetes, shmeeties, we guess.
Celeb chef/diabetic Paula Deen -- in the line of media fire for her controversial decision to endorse a diabetes drug from Novo Nordisk called Victoza -- threw caution to the wind on a Caribbean cruise this week, as she dove into a juicy cheeseburger.

Deen, 65, chose the high-calorie meal despite a number of healthier options on her annual Party At Sea cruise on the vessel, Celebrity Eclipse.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the fury over Deen -- who we recently learned is a type 2 Diabetic -- endorsing the drug has been based on her fat-laden Southern recipes, which are usually a far cry from healthy.
After her fellow celeb chef Anthony Bourdain dubbed Deen "the most dangerous person in America," Deen struck back on the boat, telling an off-color joke aimed at the Travel Channel personality.

She said Bourdain once dined on the “unwashed anuses of wildebeests," following up with the punch line, “You are what you eat!” (We guess that makes her a greasy cheeseburger.)

Good grief give the lady some slack. What gets me she tell the public about her health condition and now elements of the public feel they can dictate to her how she's to live what damn nerve.

Paula can eat what she wants. Looks like she forgot to bring her hairdresser on her trip though : ) At least she is liked and they will have a good time on her cruise unlike hideous Kate Gosselin's cruise in August!

Paula NEVER claimed to be a healthy cook. She called herself FAT on her show. Anthony is jealous of a old woman's success. HIS TRAVEL CHANNEL has the show, MAN VERSUS FOOD which is not healthy Anthony is not knocking it.

My grandmother had diabetes and was very good about keeping to her diet. Once in a while she would eat a slice of cake or pie. She even had hamburgers. She lived to 92. Paula knows the risks. Hopefully she doesn't eat like this all the time.

I've had diabetes for a few years myself. I eat hamburgers, although I usually take the top bun off because I just can't eat the whole thing anymore. And I'm willing to bet all diabetics still eat sweets now and then. I do and my numbers are fine.

Type 2 diabetic diet says eat most anything you want in moderation. Watch out for heavy carbohydrates in general. Unless you inspected her food, how do you know if it's healthy or not?
