Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body’s defense system attacks its own insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. The result is dangerously high blood sugar that, if not controlled, can lead to severe complications such as kidney failure, heart disease, and blindness.
The first-ever Barbie with Type 1 diabetes comes with an insulin pump and glucose monitor. Both kids and adults with diabetes are celebrating the announcement and say they are grateful for a doll that represents them.
