THE family of a 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, 28, of Garryowen, Co Limerick, collapsed at home the day after he was seen by a doctor and was brought to hospital in February 2021, the court heard.

He was diagnosed with cardiac arrest and diabetes ketoacidosis, a condition where the body can't make enough insulin. Daniel's condition worsened in ICU and he died three days later.
