Relation of Gamma-Glutamyltransferase and Alcohol Drinking with Incident Diabetes: the HIPOP-OHP Study

Abstract

Higher GGT was associated with a higher incidence of DM irrespective of drinking status or obesity. Although a U-shaped relation between alcohol drinking and incident diabetes was observed, the risk to light to moderate drinkers was not low if they were either overweight or had higher GGT.
