Daniel Larsen, Found Innocent But Still In Prison, Not Getting Critical Health Care, Wife Says
Posted in: Today's ChiliDaniel Larsen, 46, has spent almost 13 years in prison — even though he was declared innocent by a federal judge two years ago. Now, his life is at risk because of uncontrolled diabetes for which he’s not getting the care he needs, his wife Christina Larsen told The Huffington Post.
Daniel Larsen, imprisoned at the LA County California State Prison, was diagnosed in August with Type 1 diabetes after he fell into a diabetic coma as a result of the treatment the prison hospital gave him for another illness, according to Christina Larsen. Since then, Daniel Larsen has tried various insulin drugs, and none have stabilized his blood sugar.
Christina Larsen said her husband’s blood sugar on Friday had risen to the level registered when he went into the diabetic coma. Two days earlier, a prison doctor had given him a new prescription for an insulin injection called NovoLog. But a prison hospital aide later told Larsen the institution doesn’t carry the drug, so he continues taking his old medicine that doesn’t control his blood sugar level, Christina Larsen said.
