• The Barbie with Type 1 diabetes comes with a continuous glucose monitor on her arm and an insulin pump on her waist, both of which are medical devices used by people with this condition. Krista Berger, senior vice president for Barbie and global head of dolls, said in a press release, “This doll is a big step toward inclusivity. Barbie shapes how kids see the world, and by including medical conditions like Type 1 diabetes, we help more children feel represented in the stories they create with their dolls.” According to the Mayo Clinic, Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong condition where the pancreas produces little or no insulin, a hormone that helps the body use glucose (sugar) for energy. A continuous glucose monitor tracks blood sugar levels, and an insulin pump is a wearable device that delivers insulin to the body as needed.
• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that over 18,000 young people under 20 were diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in the U.S. last year. The CDC also notes that diagnoses have been increasing by about 2% each year from 2002 to 2018. To make sure the doll accurately represents the condition, Mattel worked with Breakthrough T1D, a nonprofit organization focused on Type 1 diabetes. Breakthrough T1D’s CEO, Aaron J. Kowalski, said he was “thrilled” to collaborate with Mattel to ensure the doll’s medical devices were realistic. – Mal Antoni
