A gastroenterologist in Lancs has told G.P.s not do blood tests for g.g.t.!
I find this surprising since I have N.A.F.L.D.
Hope it doesn't happen here.

That made me have a proper look at the print out from my last set of blood tests and there is no GGT result on mine, it was on my 2014 print out though, looks like it could be another cost saving measure which with the prevalence of NAFLD in diabetics is deplorable.
I don't even get a full lipid panel now just Total and HDL

I understand GGT is not an expensive blood test. It was an hospital consultant who told GPs not to test.
They can do other liver blood tests as usual.
Some years ago in the Carlisle area they were dissuading GPS from doing PSA tests.
I think they saw men with cancer of the prostate as a black hole for money. I hope they are not going to treat diabetics with nafld the same way!
