How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that officer who knew of detainee’s diabetes and delayed insulin violated clearly established law
• holding that arresting officer with “no knowledge of [detainee’s] diabetic condition . . . cannot have inferred that serious harm could befall [the detainee] without insulin”
• holding that a diabetic plaintiff who was not treated with insulin injections at regulated intervals, resulting in the plaintiff’s emergency hospital admission and a stay of several days, satisfied the objective requirement for deliberate indifference
• holding that “the emergency hospital admission coupled with a stay of several days satisfies the objective requirement of a ‘sufficiently serious’ medical need,” after a lock-up facility failed to give an arrestee her required insulin injections
• considering a motion for summary judgment by police officers involved with arresting, booking, and monitoring the plaintiff-inmate
• noting that plaintiff Garretson needed to show that “the officers' behavior during her detention violated a right so clearly established that they reasonably should have understood their affirmative duties to act otherwise[,]” then finding that plaintiff Garretson had done so
