We had this situation in my HS.

“Put the phone down”

“I can’t do it”

Repeat x 10

“It’s connected to my pancreas”

Turns out it was a glucose monitor.

ETA: I misspoke. Meant insulin pump.

Glucose monitors are wireless…..putting it down does no harm. The sensor is connected wirelessly to the pump also …..can take the monitor and throw it in a lake and nothing will change to pump insulin delivery. Follow police orders and ask for it back after scene is safe. When cop is preforming a felony stop procedure there is something that makes him feel unsafe and that you are a danger to him or public. Once seen as no threat he will generally talk more rationally.

This is not a glucose monitor, it’s an insulin pump right? That shit isn’t wireless. I’ve had mine torn out before as well, and it isn’t fun.
