    Background & Objectives: The importance of this study lies in the ever-increasing prevalence of diabetes and the fact that serum GGT (Gamma Glutamyl Transferase) levels re?ect a diverse metabolic process [9]. This aim of this study is to unravel the potential association between serum GGT levels and serum glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). In this observational studyMethods: outpatients above 18 years of age were selected. Individuals meeting the inclusion criteria were selected from all the three metabolic spectrums i.e. non diabetic, pre diabetic and diabetic and the relationship between HbA1c and GGT was measured in all of them. In this study, a totalResults: of 122 patients were included, comprising 40 non-diabetic, 41 prediabetic, and 41 diabetic individuals. The mean serum GGT level across all participants was 23.63, with a standard deviation of 11.82 (p value = 0.000079). Mean of GGT in non-diabetic, prediabetic, diabetic patients were 16.6 (SD = 8.59), 24.64 (SD = 11.6) and 29.5 (SD = 11.6) respectively. It was observed that in the higher quartiles of GGT more prediabetic and diabetic individuals were present as compared to lower quartiles. In our study a strong link is found betweenInterpretation & Conclusions: serum GGT levels and serum HbA1c levels. This suggests a signi?cant relationship between glucose metabolism and serum GGT levels in the body [11]. This opens the doors for future research into the relevance of serum GGT levels as a marker for glucose intolerance.
