CDT Test (Carbohydrate Deficient Transferrin)

[Yolo]

I can request they email my GP instead of posting when I'm at my medical next week? Is that what you mean?
Yeh, I won't have drank for almost 7 weeks by the time of the medical so got no worries for the CDT 😊 just the gp being contacted for delaying me getting my licence I'm worried about haha

To be honest 4 years ago I had to have some time off work, it just got to much. I hit the bottle and the GP signed me off recommended i seek help, i didn't i just got myself better. I said no to the mental health question so in effect I lied as it was mental health issue, when i spoke to the doctor he brought it up . I wouldn't sweat it at all you'll fly it.. as for the email yeah DVLA wanting more info they just emailed instead of posting to gp.. I've been a constant pain for my the delay and gp past few months ringing all the time for updates but seems it's the only way to get forward

Mental health question only goes for the past 3 years so you didn't lie. Thanks for the tip on asking to email. Much better and quicker way!

Do I need to know my GP's email address for them to email them?

Yeah you'll need to know it for them to be able to email your GP

For people who are waiting to here about a license and don't know driver number, I'm still waiting on mine through the post but can officially drive as of yesterday. Found out by going to GOV.uk and using my national insurance number to search driver details

So from enjoying a drink frequently and abstaining for 30 days this is what I got my cdt level down to

Good result and shows abstaining around a month is about the correct time frame. Mine was the exact same last year.

they never said what my CDT was, also the medichecks test did not work for me.

Can you explain what you mean by 'the Medichecks Test did not work for you?

 

[packtp1]

Could not get a reliable result they said

I couldn't get a result from medichecks either so I panicked when it came to the DVLA test. I completley abstained for 7 weeks and got a result of 0.2. Didn't really drink much beforehand though.
