A woman impersonated a nurse, crafted fake prescriptions for children with diabetes, and launched unlicensed businesses, as detailed in an arrest report acquired by the 8 News Now Investigators.

Police arrested Crystal Scott, 44, on Wednesday.

Scott is charged with 50 felonies, comprising 24 counts of holding counterfeit prescriptions for dangerous drugs, 12 counts each for practicing as a nurse without a license and distributing a dangerous drug to minors, along with two counts for illegally obtaining and utilizing personal information.

Scott conducted medical assessments, issued care directives, and facilitated the supply of insulin and other medications to at least 12 children, according to the arrest report.

“By pretending to be a registered nurse, Scott gained the trust of vulnerable families who depended on her for essential medical care for their diabetic children,” authorities stated in the report. “She deceived parents, pharmacies, and school officials, all without having any professional license or medical supervision.”

Scott allegedly used the professional credentials of two licensed doctors without consent, alongside a nurse’s license number from a Las Vegas hospital, mentioned in the police report. She used forged signatures from doctors to write at least 24 fraudulent prescriptions, according to police.

The police discovered an array of drugs, including insulin pumps and injectable medications, blank lab orders using a doctor’s name, as well as finished lab orders in Scott’s possession, noted in the arrest report.

A parent of an alleged child victim spoke to the 8 News Now Investigators on the condition of anonymity.

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

The 8 News Now Investigators 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 no contact with minors, other than her own children. Her next court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday.

The 8 News Now Investigators 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 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.

The parent who spoke with the 8 News Now Investigators 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.”
