Key features

  • Designed to reflect the world kids see today, this diverse line of Barbie Fashionistas dolls showcases bright and trendy styles that inspire endless storytelling possibilities.
  • Meet the first Barbie doll with type 1 diabetes! Barbie partnered with Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) to design a doll that celebrates this community.
  • Her stylish polka dot top and matching skirt are a nod to the global symbols that represent diabetes awareness -- a circle shape and the colour blue!
  • To manage her type 1 diabetes, Barbie uses an insulin pump and a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). To keep her CGM in place, she has heart-shaped medical tape -- Barbie pink, of course!
  • Her phone displays a CGM app to help Barbie track her blood sugar levels throughout the day. This way, she stays healthy and is ready for a fun adventure anytime, anywhere!
  • Barbie doll’s pastel blue purse carries her essentials for busy days when she’s on the go. Plus, chunky block heels take her look from day to night with ease!
  • Kids 3 years and up can collect other Barbie Fashionistas dolls for even more fun with friends and fashion at playtime!

    Type1 diabeties diagnosis @18months old

    My baby girl was 18months old when diagnosed, she is the only member of our family or known to us directly that has type 1. Unfortunately it's been a battle with her growing up being odd child out in her class etc so this doll definitely helps that insecure feeling of being alone. She adores her Barbie fully helps her connect and feel just as important as other girls and their Barbie dolls

    Gifts for Newly Diagnosed T1D little girls

    I buy these Barbies when they are available and donate them to my diabetes educators at my hospital to give out to newly diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes little girls. So far I have managed to purchase around 15 and always keep an eye out when they become available again.. I hope that they bring some comfort to them to know that there is a Barbie who had diabetes with all the pumps and monitors attached to them. I just wish I didn’t have to wait so long for them to be available again
