Leading diabetes organization Breakthrough T1D partnered with Mattel on the doll to ensure the devices were medically accurate

Mattel has launched the first Barbie doll with type 1 diabetes as part of a drive to increase representation. The toy manufacturer has previously launched dolls to represent people who have a variety of medical conditions and aids to help them. Kate Moss’ daughter Lila has launched this particular doll with the company.

The popular toy manufacturer on Tuesday unveiled the most recent addition to its ever-growing Barbie Fashionista line: the Barbie doll with type 1 diabetes. The intention, per a press release from Mattel, was to give more children the opportunity to “see themselves in Barbie” as well as “the world around them.”
