Woman with diabetes whose family has been blighted by cancer braves a DNA test to predict her future health - with VERY unexpected results

Mieka Smiles, 34, from Middlesbrough, tried the 23andMe DNA test, (inset) which can be purchased from Superdrug for £125, and claims to predict the illnesses likely to affect you in later life. 


You simply send a sample of your saliva (left) by post and receive the results by email six to eight weeks later. Mieka's family has been blighted by health problems in the past, but she was pleasantly surprised by the data.
