Product Information

Full details

This Barbie Fashionistas doll is designed for children aged 3 and up, offering a unique opportunity to introduce and normalize living with type 1 diabetes. Its key benefit lies in promoting inclusivity and diverse representation through play, allowing children to see themselves or others reflected in their toys. A potential consideration is that the medical accessories are small and may not be suitable for very young children who still put items in their mouths. This doll celebrates community, featuring a stylish outfit, an insulin pump, a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), and a phone with a CGM app.
