Mattel has introduced its first Barbie doll with representing someone with Type 1 diabetes. The doll, part of the Fashionistas line, includes realistic medical accessories like a continuous glucose monitor and an insulin pump — as well as an outfit that pays homage to diabetes awareness.
This new doll “enables more children to see themselves reflected in Barbie,” Mattel wrote
They’re inconvenient, but much better than a few years ago. Having an app for the monitor now is a game-changer to avoid people hearing a self-destruct countdown beep under your shirt. But one of my friends actually still prefers shots three times a day, You just kind of get used to that if it’s all you’ve ever known, so for some people it’s not as big a deal as others make it out to be.
So with that out of the way, you may have replied to a comment mentioning insulin pumps, but what do they have to do with the post, anymore than the doll’s hair colour?
is your criticism that you oppose insulin pumps?
How could someone’s mind possibly extract that from anything I’ve said, or are you just trying to be a troll?
the post i replied to there was only about insulin pumps. what do you think about insulin pumps?
They pump insulin.
