On the other hand the word 'rot' means to decay by the action of bacteria or fungi. There are no bacteria or fungi involved in theses processes. Although I'm sure that Jason Fung is well aware of this, if a GP was shown this book by a patient who wanted to convince them of the wisdom of LCHF, that paragraph alone could be enough discourage the GP from reading the rest of the book. Replace the word 'rot' with the word 'fail' and you would have a paragraph that is accessible both to the general public and to scientists/medics.
I think Dr Fung is safe with the use of the word rot if you look at the second definition in the Collins English Dictionary. I agree that the word rot envokes a more emotional response than fail.On the other hand the word 'rot' means to decay by the action of bacteria or fungi.

Yes, perhaps 'deteriorate'might be better.I don't like the word 'rot' or 'fail'. As it is a continues process 'fail' seems to be the wrong word, but as we can undo it 'rot' seems to be the wrong word.
That someone with Type 1 could control without insulin?
Yes. I feel this statement needs some further explanation....!That someone with Type 1 could control without insulin?
Could be honeymoon? I'm no expert on Type 1 ... But I met a guy at the PHC conference who was a recently diagnosed Type 1 (diagnosed 4 years ago) who was ultra low carb and took no insulin. He is/was a member here but rarely posts unfortunately.Yes. I feel this statement needs some further explanation....!
I agree, the person in question could well be honeymooning, and many of us would draw this conclusion. For the writer of this introduction to have left it at 'controlling her diabetes without insulin' however, might, I feel, give some readers the expectation that LCHF + type 1 = no insulin required.Could be honeymoon?

Or maybe - as a type 1 on LCHF and insulin - I'm missing something?
