The family of a 28-year-old man with diabetes who died days after he was seen by a doctor has settled a High Court action against a Limerick medical centre over his death.

Daniel Ammonsen, of Garryowen, Co Limerick, the High Court heard, collapsed at home the day after he was seen by a doctor and was brought to hospital. He was diagnosed with cardiac arrest and diabetes ketoacidosis, which is a condition where the body cannot make enough insulin. The 28-year old’s condition worsened in hospital intensive care and he died three days later, on February 21, 2021.
