There’s a new Barbie doll hitting shelves that is designed with inclusion and empathy at the core!

Barbie is introducing a doll with type 1 diabetes.

The new doll features a continuous glucose monitor and insulin pump, two medical devices that people use, carry or wear when they have Type 1 diabetes.

The attention to detail is truly unmatched. Barbie’s blue polka dot style is a nod to the global symbols for diabetes awareness.

Absolutely love that this doll will be on shelves. It will encourage education on diabetes. Barbie is always so great at creating dolls that encourage inclusivity.
