A genetic mutation that can raise the amount of glucose in a person's blood to harmful levels is identified in a study in the journal Science. High levels of blood glucose increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and early death, even in healthy people who do not have diabetes and whose blood glucose levels are at the higher end of the range considered 'normal' by doctors...
