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
Not to sound ignorant but can’t you just use your imagination for something like this?
Then they can’t sell you another doll. When do we get sickle cell barbie? Like why give doll diseases? Can’t leave that up to the kid?
Right? I want aids Barbie
They made that already.
I guess it’s more for the “lore” of Barbie than the doll itself.
