Wait a minute, people are upset about diabetic representation, in a Barbie? How does that make ANY LOGICAL SENSE IN THEIR BRAIN! When will people realize not everything is for them. CONSIDERING THE TARGET AUDIENCE & THE IMPACT

I know what t1 is because of the babysitters club books. makes me so sad what Stacey was going through in the 80s is still happening to kids now - ppl not understanding the illness and thinking they just ate too much sugar etc etc

I think it's fantastic that dolls are representing people. Normalising these things is the way forward 🥰

No literally, like i can’t even believe people still treat T1 this way. It’s so painful, like we didn’t do anything to break our pancreases😭.

i love learning about this! same when i was little i had a friend, he had hearing aids. in first grade i was his helper. by the end of the year i knew sign language and how to fix his hearing aids. (moved) then in 3-5 grade i had a friend she had asthma and by the end of the first year i was running her down to the office (sometimes literally) for a breathing treatment and help. now im a swim instructor with a kids who are diabetics.

As a type 1 I love the Barbie. I got a teddy bear with needle patches as a kid. And my daughter got the same bear when she was diagnosed. She was 3. She would have loved a Barbie. She’s 27 now maybe I should get it for her. Uneducated people are unbelievable. Diabetes isn’t a joke.

The last couple of years we have a couple of kids at school diagnosed type 1 and a friends child was diagnosed and it has only been then that it has made me realise the implications. It has been a big eye opener to myself and as a school we make sure all the children are aware of diabetes and what it actually means, I think a lot of them could teach their parents about it!

Just remember, they’re grown adults being malicious about a CHILDREN’S TOY. And that tells you all you need to know about them - sad, miserable little people who can’t stand to see little girls with difficult, incurable conditions feeling happy and seen and included

Hey Ella I’m 54 and was dx 21 years ago. I want the Barbie! May those who make fun of her never have to go through what we deal with on a daily basis. I’m so glad there’s support for us now. There wasn’t when I was dx. 💕

Why can’t we change the name for type 1 😩 People see “diabetes” and jump to wild conclusions on why we are the way we are

I feel sad for the T2 diabetics who are actually the victims here.

I think it’s beautiful and I would have loved to have her as a kid. If someone explained it to me then, I would have pretended to check her BG & make sure she was taken care of ❤️

even T2.. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, live a very active and healthy lifestyle, average weight and at 1.5yr postpartum my A1C was pre-diabetic, nearly diabetic. I went into a very deep depression because I had still been mostly eating along my original diabetic diet just not counting carbs.

I remember being a little girl and I couldn’t get a ginger doll anywhere and the excitement I had when I realised Barbie had released one. I don’t understand why anyone would ruin a disabled child’s happiness. All people want is to feel as normal as possibly when they’re experiencing so much differently from kids their age.

the craziest thing to me is that people don’t know the difference between type 1 and 2, or even that type 2 doesn’t always mean hugely overweight either! I personally think it’s a wonderful release❤️

I’m so sorry, it’s hard enough without other people’s nonsense comments on a subject they severely lack knowledge. My daughter is 7 and was diagnosed with T1D when she was 4. She/we had no control of her body when it attacked itself causing her pancreas to no longer do its job. Try to pay them no mind. God bless 🙏🏻

Its so frustrating as someone who has had type 1 for 22 years and has only in the past 5 years felt comfortable injecting in public and not hiding in toilets its like a slap in the face. X

I’m so sorry that you had to carry that heartache. We will keep shouting it from the rooftops that representation matters! And you matter. You always matter.

My psych asks me why I assume they are intelligent enough to understand and form a coherent opinion and by god I’ve been clutching to that over the past few days!!! 🥺
