The brand partnered with Breakthrough T1D, formerly JDRF, a diabetes research organization, to create the doll.

Mattel has introduced its first Barbie representing a person with Type 1 diabetes, as part of wider efforts from the toy maker to increase inclusivity among its dolls.

The Barbie has a continuous glucose monitor on her arm, an insulin pump and wears a blue polka dot shirt and dress, the color of diabetes awareness.
