Fake nurse treated diabetic children in Las Vegas: Police
Share and Follow


LAS VEGAS (KLAS) A woman posed as a nurse, wrote fake prescriptions for diabetic children, and set up a “concierge diabetes program” in Las Vegas without licenses, according to an arrest report obtained by affiliate KLAS.

Police arrested Crystal Scott, 44, on Wednesday.

Scott faces 50 felony charges, including 24 counts of possession of a bogus prescription for a dangerous drug, 12 counts each of acting as a nurse without a license and furnishing a dangerous drug to a minor, and two counts of obtaining and using personal information to harm or for an unlawful purpose.

Scott provided medical consultations, wrote care orders, and caused insulin and other drugs to be furnished to at least 12 children, the arrest report said.

“By falsely representing herself as a registered nurse, Scott assumed a position of trust with vulnerable families who relied on her for critical medical treatment for their diabetic children,” police wrote in the report. “Scott provided false assurances to parents, pharmacies, and school officials, all while lacking any professional license or medical oversight.”

Scott used the professional identities of two licensed physicians without their permission, along with a license number of a registered nurse who works at a Las Vegas hospital, according to police. She wrote at least 24 fraudulent prescriptions by using forged physician signatures, police said.

Police found various drugs in Scott’s possession, including insulin pumps and injectable medications, as well as blank lab orders (in a physician’s name) and completed lab orders, the arrest report said.

Scott is affiliated with the business “Glucose N Glow,” which police said has no valid business license. The business, located on Las Vegas Boulevard near Sunset Road, offers diabetes concierge, neurotoxin, weight loss and IV therapy services, according to its website.

The “concierge diabetes program” costs $600 for four annual appointments, the website states.

Scott’s photo is also on a website, thedocsnv.com, with the following information: “Crystal is a registered nurse (RN) with a master’s degree in dietetics and a dedicated diabetes educator with 15 years of experience specializing in pediatric care. As a board member of the Nevada Diabetes Association, she is passionate about advocating for and supporting individuals with diabetes. She lives in Las Vegas with her husband and their six children. When she’s not working, Crystal enjoys staying active, focusing on health and wellness, and spending quality time with her family.”

KLAS reached out to the Nevada Diabetes Association and The DOCS Friday afternoon, but did not receive a response by the time of this article’s publication.

Court records show Scott appeared in Las Vegas Justice Court on Thursday, where her bail was set at $50,000. She posted bond and is no longer in custody, according to jail records. Conditions of her release include not practicing any medical procedures and having no contact with minors, other than her own children. Her next court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday.

KLAS reached out to attorney Jack Buchanan, who is representing Scott.

“Bail for Ms. Scott was set today in accordance with arguments made on her behalf, highlighting her virtual complete lack of criminal history, standing in the community as a veteran of our armed services and as a loving mother herself,” Buchanan said. “The complexities of this case will no doubt be litigated in the future to show she at no point meant, or is criminally culpable, of harm to any child within the Las Vegas valley.”

The investigation began on Sept. 26 after a chief nurse within the Clark County School District contacted police. The employee noticed irregularities on an order to authorize school staff to administer insulin during school hours for example, the date on the order being Aug. 22, 2026, police said. She then reviewed 12 more documents with inconsistent signatures and reached out to the physician whose license number was on the document, according to the report. The physician said he had not signed the medical orders, the signatures were not his, and he does not treat pediatric patients.

A parent of an alleged child victim spoke to KLAS on the condition of anonymity.

“She put a lot of people at risk, and some of them don’t even know,” the parent said.

The parent said she hopes Scott’s case raises awareness about the challenges diabetic children and their families face, specifically in finding care.

“I think it’s really important to add how difficult it is to get into a specialist,” she said. “Wait lists of six to nine months sometimes.”
