"Hitting My Stride in the Face of Adversity: My Mission to Becoming Miss Germany
At 32, married with three kids, not your typical pageant hopeful. But with type 1 diabetes, a 15,000-strong pack of contestants, and a passion burning brighter than the stage lights, I'm in this game. Making it into the top 20? Craziness personified.
Why join the dance? Bikinis are so last decade. Now, it's all about empowerment and making a difference. With over 40 million chronically ill folks in Germany, I'm determined to lend a hand. I've been there, and the feeling of abandonment and helplessness you get post-diagnosis? It needs a reboot.
Behind closed doors before, I was a budding teacher and a table-tennis rockstar. But after being diagnosed, the thought of daily jabs was suffocating. Yet, I fought my way out. Now, I'm a diabetes expert, a health influencer, and an entrepreneur in the medical tech scene.
Journeying to Miss Germany involves sharing my mission, day in, day out – e-castings, challenges, interviews – all judged on growth potential, professionalism, and inspirational power. Countdown begins in December, alongside my fellow pageant contenders, in a castle's embrace near Berlin.
Mindfully managing diabetes becomes crucial in this whirlwind. Lucky me, I've mastered my body, and advanced diabetes tech keeps interventions at a minimum. Balancing my values, too high, too low – it's a delicate dance for triumph.
Winning, though, means more than just a crown. Helping the chronically ill is my goal, and I never forget my roots. Perhaps a future Miss Germany could shine a fresh light on diabetes, too."
Asking for guidance from my diabetes guru as I stride towards the Miss Germany throne, I'm determined to embody a diabetes warrior, echoing Miss Germany 1996's courage and openness about her own Type 1 diagnosis.
