“Like so many other Hispanic Americans, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I took all my medications, changed my diet, dropped 50 pounds and began to take my power back against the disease. Almost 10 years later, my life has changed in so many ways.
“I wanted to give back and help in the fight to Stop Diabetes. I joined my local Step Out walk committee and began speaking at community events. I competed in the national Miss Plus America pageant, where I won the Overall Community Service Award for my work as a diabetes advocate. I’m stopping diabetes, one rhinestone at a time!”
