Amazing!

Barbie is launching its first doll with Type 1 diabetes, Mattel announced Tuesday.

The new doll features a continuous glucose monitor and insulin pump, two medical devices that people use, carry or wear when they have Type 1 diabetes, which is a chronic condition where the body doesn't make any or enough of the insulin hormone.

In addition to the doll, Barbie is also introducing two more dolls of Peloton fitness instructor Robin Arzón in the U.S. and model Lila Moss in the U.K., both of whom are Type 1 diabetes advocates.
