Hi Paula, I have been recently diagnosed with type 2 and am having a hard time converting my recipes. I have always loved bread and pasta, that is the hardest part. Any tips to help with the transition from southern cooking to new healthier cooking???

I have just been diagnosed with pre diabetes, type 2. I am scared to death, But right away I went to Pauls's website and I felt better and not so alone. I am doing fine making little but steady changes in my diet and exercise habits. Paula is really an inspiration to me. I am 57 years young, I work everyday full time (for Harley Davidson) and I also own a wholesale greenhouse business with my husband. I am looking forward to getting healthy. I hope someday I meet Paula and tell her her Thank You in person. All the Best Madonna Haines

Hi Paula ! Will you and your sons ever have a cookbook in the future for diabetics ?? You are an inspiration. I have learned since becoming a diabetic that common sense, carb counting and portion control was my greatest tool. Thank you for being YOU !

Paula, I have gained a lot of weight over the past few years. My blood sugar was not over but getting very close to the point of having Diabetic. I have joined Weight Watchers and started to exercise more and hopefully on a regular basis. I have lost 12 pounds so far. I hope to continue, but I wanted to write you to tell you how much influence and support your story has been for me. I hope you continue to do well and your health continues to be good. God Bless and continued success. Love and Best Dishes from my kitchen to yours. Please put more recipes that will halp others like myself to help control diabetes and weight.

Hi Paula, I bought one of your big cooking pots last summer and just loved it but we were cooking leek and potato soup last week and when I went to clean it the inside coating was chipping off and I was so upset not even thinking about if we ate pieces of it. Very sad,Kim

Paula, I can relate with you so much, we are the same age and our birthdays are both in January, 1947. I love to cook as you do and am a comfort food chef in my Tea Room Restaurant. (www.thecanoncityqueenanne.com) People come to a restaurant to taste good food. I use a lot of butter and people love my food. If they want to eat healthy they should do it at home and when they treat themselves they go out to eat because they need a treat. Eating out once a month or on a special occation should be fun, tasty, decadent, and over the top. There is a balance to cooking, eating, dieting, and living. Enjoy life with balance, treat yourself occastionally. My place is a place to treat yourself. I won't be changing to diet food, I would be out of business. Keep on doing what you do as so many of us love you and the dibetic thing is something that you have to change your eating with but sometimes you can treat yourself to your favorite things and that is ok. Love you girl and know that you are special and an inspiration to many. Especially me. You have given me many reason to keep cooking and making people happy. We love making Moments of Magic for those that need them and I love making people happy with good food. It is a labor of Love. Blessings Linda Ballard in Colorado

My dad, his wife, and my sister, have all been diagnosed with Diabetes! They are all doing great, and are taking Plexus Slim in addition to their daily hydration. People have been able to come off their Diabetes shots, and medication, by taking Plexus, as well as losing pounds and inches! We know it has helped many people. It might help you, too! Please go to this website and try it. Tell your friends, too. We pray it levels out your insulin, and more, and helps you! www.donnathomas.myplexusproducts.com

Hey Paula - love you and your show. Wonder if you would consider a section of your website with diabetic friendly recipes - you know the little tweaks here and there we can do to make your wonderful food "safer" for us diabetics. Keep up the good work - you look fantastic.

I was hospitalized over the weekend because of my Type 2 Diabetes. It has really scared me. I vow to change my life around and to manage my condition more seriously and carefully. I need to use moderation in food choices and to exercise more. This is a really serious disease. I've lost 30 pounds over the last 3 months. I hope to keep it off and lose even more eating right. Over the holidays, I'll make lighter versions of my favorite Deen recipes. Thank you Paula for bringing awareness to Diabetes.
