In 2019, Mattel released a Barbie in a wheelchair and a Barbie with a prosthetic limb. Other dolls in the Fashionistas line include a Barbie with Down syndrome, a Barbie with hearing aids, a bald Barbie, a Barbie with a skin condition and Barbies with different hair types and body shapes.
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.
