How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that because one officer “knew that an insulin-dependent diabetic needs regular insulin injections” and the other officer knew “that diabetes is potentially fatal,” the plaintiff could avoid summary judgment on her deliberate in difference claim
• holding that a jury could infer that police officers were deliberately indifferent to insulin dependent pa- tient when they transported him to another jail without adminis- tering an insulin shot
• reversing summary judgment because a jury could infer that depriving arrestee of one insulin shot exposed him to substantial danger
• denial of qualified immunity appropriate where jury could infer that defendants were deliberately indifferent to type 1 diabetic plaintiffs need for insulin
