Mattel has introduced its first Barbie doll with representing someone with Type 1 diabetes. The doll, part of the Fashionistas line, includes realistic medical accessories like a continuous glucose monitor and an insulin pump — as well as an outfit that pays homage to diabetes awareness.
This new doll “enables more children to see themselves reflected in Barbie,” Mattel wrote
it’s barely any change at all and it lets some kids have fun, with the tiny upside that maybe my friend’s insulin pump won’t get mistaken for a 1990’s pager. they’re going to sell dolls anyways, why not add this accessory?
