We’re buzzing about Miss Idaho, who not only captured the crown at the recent Miss Idaho pageant, she captured our attention by wearing an insulin pump with her bikini.
Over the past few days, Sierra Sandison has become a hero of the Type 1 diabetes community, and is inspiring others with Type 1 diabetes to wear their insulin pumps proudly. (She created the hashtag #showmeyourpump.)
You can find evidence of this on her Twitter and Facebook pages, which are being flooded with comments from grateful parents and photos of tweens and teens wearing their own pumps.
“So tonight, I went out and rocked my pump on stage, hoping that even if it wasn’t a pump, someone that thought they had a ‘flaw’ would know that it was absolutely ok and didn’t mean they were any less beautiful.”
