She was so embarrassed to take insulin injections in public, she&rsquo;d have us go in public bathrooms or the car to get her insulin injections bc everyone would literally stare at her and whisper. CGMs we&rsquo;re still semi new at that time in 2013, not a lot of people used them, so she would always want them placed in areas of her body that no one could see due to the stares, questions, people randomly touching it, etc, having a Barbie or anything really that would have given her a sense of normalcy and representation would probably have made things somewhat better for her. I would like to think that it would have also opened up a dialogue about type 1 diabetes as well, however, after reading the comments I have been seeing online and in social media it has done nothing to help with the ignorance of the public. I have saw so many mean comments such as that these Barbies are promoting children eating too much sugar and getting diabetes, people saying that this glorified obesity, glorified poor eating habits and health, and some MUCH worse comments. My wish was that this Barbie would motivate people to learn the difference between type 1 and type 2, yet instead the internet immediately started making all these assumptions that our children somehow did this to themselves. I honestly wish that the scientists had given type 1 or type 2 different names, that one or the other should&rsquo;ve never been named diabetes! That way the public could distinguish between the diseases! Because our children did not do this to themselves. Anyways, that&rsquo;s not on Barbie, this doll is a HUGE step in the right direction towards the type 1 community and children! Even though my daughter is now a young adult this doll still means a ton to us! We are buying one for her to collect (she said it be embarrassing to keep out in her dorm room lol) but she too is VERY excited about this Barbie! It will go side by side with her Rufus teddy bear from the JDRF who was her best friend throughout childhood bc he was a stuffed animal representing her and what she was going through (plus she could practice giving him shots lol), he&rsquo;s the ONLY stuffed animal she&rsquo;s kept her entire childhood and will always be special to her, and I see this Barbie being just as important to her and spending the rest of her life with her and Rufus!</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2025-08-28</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2025-08-28" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="243345327"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">5</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">Anonymous</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">Love this!</span> <span itemprop="description">Barbie fan here.

I was 56 when I became a Type 1 Diabetic. Opens up the conversation that there are more and more adults becoming a Type 1 and since it is an autoimmune disease, nothing we have done caused it. I went to order one for myself to keep and they are sold out everywhere so I check daily and I'm disappointed that they are still not available. That shows how many people are touched by this disease. I hope she comes back in stock soon. I wish I could pre-order.</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2025-07-16</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2025-07-16" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="243174597"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">5</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">ckline12</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">Great</span> <span itemprop="description">Finally.

Nice to make a doll but not cool to have it so undervalued you thought you could get by with that little stock. Make more options on hair/skin/genders and produce more stock if you really want to give representation. t1 is way too common for this sell out on day 1.</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2025-07-09</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2025-07-09" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="243128907"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">5</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">erinP</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">LOVE!!!!</span> <span itemprop="description">[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a great Barbie!!
