Well, a cheeseburger isn’t mainly protein. The meat and cheese are, but the bun is nothing but carbs, and most likely the high-glycemic white kind. The fries are even worse; potatoes spike the blood sugar.
But I’m just saying. It’s Paula’s right to eat whatever she wants, and like someone else said, maybe she wasn’t going to eat all of her plate. If we’re going to chase Paula Deen around with a camera at dinnertime, then turn one on that burger-scarfing wookie in the White House.
I was going to say, if your diabetes is under control eating a cheeseburger should not cause any problem for you.
The fat in meat can elevate blood sugars, its the carbs in the bread that is the bad part. I have had type 1 for 40 yrs. I eat whatever i want and people freak out if i eat a piece of candy- its all in the carb count to insulin ratio. people can get fat eating beans , corn, etc...
