[QUOTE="Southport GP, post: 904232, member: 74036"] My interest in GGT and liver blood test results was that in a practice of 9000 patients well over a 1000 had an abnormal GGT result - for years I didn't really know how to advise my patients or what this meant. The received wisdom was that they were drinking more than they let on, but I find most folk tend to tell me the truth. Another puzzle was obesity - what to do? Then as you know I did a pilot study on the low-carb diet a couple of years ago the patients loved the diet, they lost loads of weight, came off meds and were very proud. I noticed I could predict which patients would have lost weight -[B]before they came in my room[/B] from the GGT result alone, so our new study was born. This time were took a longer time frame - each patient was on the diet for over a year, very many have been on it for years now. I agree with Prof Roy Taylor who feels for many patients liver problems pre-date diabetes by some years. [B]There is a window of opportunity for the low carb approach here because no one is sure what to do about the epidemic of fatty liver disease, no drugs so far, and no one knows which diet is best.[/B] [/QUOTE]
