Cassi Connelly talks about her experience of having familial partial lipodystrophy characterised by a loss of fat and muscular appearance of her arms and legs. She had multiple medical problems including diabetes for decades before the diagnosis of familial partial lipodystrophy was finally confirmed by a genetic test. Her treatment is now better tailored to her needs.
