Diabetes and liver

[Bluetit1802]

The GT level should be up to 65iu/L and ALT up to 53iu/L

This is why your doctor is arranging a scan for you. One of the things it is a marker for is a fatty liver, which most of us T2 diabetics have due to insulin resistance, high glucose and high insulin levels. (They all come hand in hand).

Interesting blogpost by Ivor Cummins on elevated GGT - it can be more than just diet:

If GGT doesn't reduce in response to LCHF (which it has done for many of us here), then more indepth gut studies might be indicated.

Please don't worry. I call that a successful result. It could have been serious liver damage, and it isn't. You can get rid of the fatty liver, and a very low carb diet will help enormously, along with fasting or a very low calorie diet for a few weeks.

Many people on this forum have reversed fatty liver (and type 2) by adopting a low carb diet. Please read the following:
