Sierra Sandison is a beautiful woman. She won the Miss Idaho 2014 pageant, and rightfully so.

But Sandison is bringing more to the table than just her good looks and charm.

Sandison is a diabetic. And while she is hardly the first diabetic to take part in a pageant, nor the first to use an insulin pump, she made huge waves in the competition by doing one simple thing no one had done before her.

When it came time for the bikini portion of the competition, Sandison proudly displayed her pump while she strutted her stuff.

Sandison wrote on her blog about how something that makes you different from a classic Cover Girl is NOT a flaw. She even wrote about a 1999 Miss America who wore an insulin pump, and how she found her inspiring and even more beautiful.

After posting her bikini photo to Facebook and starting the hashtag #showmeyourpump, people from the Diabetic community across the world started showing their pride, following Sandison's inspiring example.
