Yes, when they ran the $100 offer a while ago, both myself and my better half signed up.

It's fantastic, we've both been in contact with 3rd and 4th cousins, for me they are from the US, South africa and Australia.

I now know I'm prone to type II diabetes, so have cut down sugar intake and had reports on dozens of other health issues.

I think the current prices are a bit steep, but if they do another offer @ $100 I'll be recomending to everyone I know!

Your genetics are your own business, but since you mentioned it: what T2D mutation do you carry? One or two copies? How did they quantify and qualify your risk?

I haven't spat in a tube for them, so I don't know what their reports look like.
