#ShowMeYourPump Until No One Sees It

#ShowMeYourPump is everywhere! Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, diabetes blogs, news outlets - absolutely EVERYWHERE!

Less than two weeks ago Sierra Sandison was competing to be Ms. Idaho. When she walked out on stage in her black bikini, her insulin pump clipped to her waist, she had no idea that the image of her doing so was about to become a viral sensation. Later that evening, Sierra was Ms. Idaho, if you go back into her Twitter feed you can see the excitement, pictures and celebration that she was experiencing.

Then she decided to post the picture of her in that black bikini, insulin pump at her side, on her social media platforms. Almost instantly the hashtag #ShowMeYourPump was replicating all over the Internet, the diabetes community was retweeting, reblogging, liking and posting pictures of their own. Later today I'll be speaking with Sierra for an Arden's Day interview that will also run on Huffington Post. In the meantime, get out your camera and show them your pump...

... Until No One Sees It!
