Barbie just got a new accessory (hint: it’s not a handbag!). She now comes with a pink glucose monitor, marking her debut as the first Barbie with Type 1 Diabetes. For kids living with T1D, this doll is a powerful, playful reminder that they're not alone. According to the American Diabetes Association, "Approximately 304,000 children and adolescents under the age of 20 in the United States are living with type 1 diabetes." “Inclusivity isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a Barbie world,” said Krista Berger, SVP of @Barbie and Global Head of Dolls. “Introducing a Barbie with type 1 diabetes marks an important step in our commitment to representation.”
