What you see above is meant to be a teaching tool to young ladies.
Mattel will soon bring this variation on Barbie to stores, the first with type 1 diabetes, which is often diagnosed in children.
When I first read of this on Yahoo!, there was the predictable pushback from some ill-informed types. Heaven forbid certain nationally known conservative trolls start whining about it, as they often do. It's not that they don't understand, but, rather, they don't want anything like this on the market.
"Diabetic Barbie" is the creation of model Lila Moss, daughter of 80's supermodel Kate Moss. Lila herself is a diabetic, and saw the means to educate young girls. Bravo!
