Has anyone ever had a carbohydrate deficient transferrin (CDT) test?

Hello everyone! I am having a CDT test done for work to assess when I last drank. I am aware it can detect alcohol consumption over a long period of time (up to six weeks)? How sensitive is it? I have been sober for about three months continuously. Will whatever they are looking for be normal? I have read some info online but it is all a bit vague.

Any help would be appreciated?

I haven't had this test, but interesting to hear about it here. I was wondering though if you were concerned something would come up even though you haven't had anything way past what the machine detects for? Is your position contingent on what this test comes up with? I have only had to do urine samples at treatment to make sure we weren't hooching on the sly

If you haven't had alcohol in 3 weeks, what is the real concern?
