Meet the first Barbie with type 1 diabetes, launched by Breakthrough T1D and Mattel to bring awareness, representation, and real-world accuracy.

Barbie is launching its first doll with Type 1 diabetes, Mattel announced Tuesday. 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, a chronic condition where the body doesn't make any or enough of the insulin hormone.
