VIDEO: Hope for brave tot with rare genetic diabetes condition

When Ava Joyce was born, she was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition called permanent neonatal diabetes.

This condition affects one in every 200,000 babies, resulting in restricted growth in the womb and a small birth weight once born.

Baby Ava, however, was found to have a certain type of permanent neonatal diabetes that had never been diagnosed before — finding her the right treatment became an even greater battle.
