The emergency room asked about my pump and CGM

I've been thinking about situations where someone needs an emergency scan while wearing diabetes technology.

In a planned appointment, there is time to check instructions, but emergencies are different. A person may arrive at a hospital wearing an insulin pump, CGM sensor, transmitter, or other device and not know what to do immediately.

For people who have experienced emergency imaging or unexpected hospital visits while wearing diabetes devices, how was it handled? Did you have information about your devices ready, or did the medical team guide you through the process?

I'm interested in practical experiences about staying prepared for unexpected situations.

This was one of my biggest worries when I started using a pump. I realized I needed to know my device details instead of assuming someone else would already know how it worked.

Same here. Having the model information available seems like such a small thing, but it can make conversations much easier.
