Barbie Fashionistas Doll #242, Doll with Type 1 Diabetes Wearing Polka Dot Outfit and Accessories, in Partnership with Breakthrough T1D
This diverse collection of Barbie Fashionistas dolls was created to reflect the world that children see today. They feature vibrant and fashionable outfits that provide endless storytelling opportunities.
Get to know the very first Barbie doll to have type 1 diabetes! To create a doll that honors this community, Barbie collaborated with Breakthrough T1D, formerly JDRF.
The global diabetes awareness symbols of a circle and the color blue are referenced in her chic polka dot top and matching skirt!
Barbie uses an insulin pump and a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to control her type 1 diabetes. She has pink medical tape in the shape of a heart to hold her CGM in place.
A CGM app is displayed on Barbie’s phone to assist her in monitoring her blood sugar levels throughout the day. This way, she stays healthy and is ready for a fun adventure anytime, anywhere!
For busy days when she is on the go, her essentials are carried in her pastel blue purse.
Furthermore, she can effortlessly transition from day to night in her block heels! Other Barbie Fashionistas dolls can be collected by children aged 3 and up for even more playtime fun with friends and fashion!
The Barbie Fashionistas dolls celebrate diversity and provide an infinite amount of opportunities for fashion exploration and storytelling. Kids can see how much fun it is to show off one’s style with this inclusive collection! Barbie Fashionistas are the ideal present for fashion-conscious children worldwide. Each is sold separately, and availability is dependent. Dolls can’t stand on their own. The decorations and colors may vary.
