Increased blood sugar levels signal a heightened risk of heart disease, especially among women, a new study finds."Women who don't have diabetes usually don't have heart attacks, "Women with diabetes, basically, all have heart attacks."
People at risk of diabetes should have their blood sugar measured.If the fasting glucose test is elevated more than 100 milligrams per deciliter [of blood], it means that you are at risk of developing diabetes and you may have some excess risk of heart disease, particularly if you are a woman.

Every women over age 45 should have a fasting glucose test. Normal is less than 100 milligrams per deciliter, so 99 is normal, 100 isn't. "If the test is normal it should be repeated every three years."
