Yes I'm honest enough to admit I'm around 130-135kg so I'm severely obese I've always struggled to combat weight loss but csnt seem to find a balance between healthy eating, exercising and working I think that's my biggest hurdleHi Sean, what is it your concerned about? If its the liver profile your levels are raised but not outragously and while they should be looked into are not worth stressing about.
Are you overweight? High levels of Gamma GT or GTT can be associated with obesity and its thought that elevated GGT levels are a marker for visceral fat. Visceral fat is the fat that cant be seen and is around our vital organs and is a major cause of insulin resistance, dieting (weight loss) will reduce visceral fat and help to reduce your BG levels and therefore your HbA1c at the same time.
Talk to your doctor about your results and if you havent already look at reducing your calorie intake especially the carbs in your diet.
A lot of meat so chicken, sausage, pork, lamb. I'm bad for cheese too and chocolate and crispsIt looks like you are eating more carbs than your body can tolerate.
Are you on any medication ?

Also I take glaucophage 1000mg twice a day, 4 x 40mg gliclazide a day plus just had my Simvostatin dropped to 20mg at night. Aside from thst Nitrazepam for anxiety and sleep issuesA lot of meat so chicken, sausage, pork, lamb. I'm bad for cheese too and chocolate and crisps
All meats and fish are ok as long as they aren't cooked in batter or breadcrumbs. High meat content sausages are ok too. Crisps are high carb so that won't be helping. Bread, pasta. rice, sugar and potatoes are the problem for us.A lot of meat so chicken, sausage, pork, lamb. I'm bad for cheese too and chocolate and crisps

I notice you are on glicazide. If you cut your carbs a lot you will need to check your Bg levels frequently, as low carb is so effective you could hypo.
It's not that immediate ! don't panic. If you have a meter just keep an eye on it. Lots of people have been able to reduce the dose of Glicazide.. on GP's advice.. and even come off itI've just posted about this as I'm worried about crashing to a hypo
