Synopsis
A diagnosis is supposed to bring patients answers, but what happens if that diagnosis is wrong? Meet Susie Perkowitz, a patient living with a rare form of diabetes who faces blindness due to 3 years of misdiagnoses and incorrect treatment. Listen as she and Toni Pollin, a geneticist focusing on monogenic diabetes research, explain the importance of a correct diagnosis and how advocacy, working together, and genetic testing are paramount to finding answers for patients.
