Barbie launches a doll with type 1 diabetes | ChicagoNOW

The doll launched yesterday at the Breakthrough T1D Children’s Congress. The doll features an insulin pump that attaches to Barbie's waist and a continuous glucose monitor on her arm – a button held on by a strip of heart-shaped Barbie-pink tape.
