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.

If they’re going to continue trying to be relevent to combat declining sales “inclusive”, they can’t be making unrealistic dolls, especially when their whole mantra is a source of women’s weight issues in society.
And this ain’t their first rodeo of making insulting versions of people in an effort to market themselves as inclusive. There are so, so, so many Barbies that show a company has no idea what they’re doing but will sell anything out to flog a buck.
No.
