Paula Deen, a popular chef, has publicly shared her battle with type 2 diabetes. Being diagnosed three years ago, she said that she purposely delayed announcing her condition as it was a part of her personal journey. She now endorses Victoza, a non-insulin injectable diabetes medication. She wants to show that having diabetes is not a death sentence, especially with medication that is readily made available to those who need it.
