Mattel Introduces New Diabetes Barbie
Not The Bee ^ | July 09, 2025 | Cardinal Pritchard

Posted on 07/09/2025 10:51:27 AM PDT by Red Badger

This is Not The Bee, not to be confused with The Babylon Bee.

Not a joke. A real thing. From Mattel:

Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT) announced today that Barbie® is debuting the first Barbie doll with type 1 diabetes (T1D). This addition to the line enables more children to see themselves reflected in Barbie and encourages doll play that extends beyond a child's own lived experience, thereby fostering a greater sense of inclusion and empathy - all pillars of the Barbie brand's mission.

And Diabetes Barbie comes with all the goods she needs:

An absolute parody and I cannot believe the boys over at The Babylon Bee didn't think of this one first.

Hmm. That is spot on, in what I have experienced.

Was this created as a real item, or has AI been at work again?

That would be realistic although it wouldn’t sell a whole lot of toys for obvious reasons.

That pic is not the doll. I know several people with Type 1, and they are not fat.

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't think the doll looked "real" in that pic.

I also know a few people with Type 1 diabetes - the ones I know are quite skinny.

I haven't seen it in real life, only on social media. I assume it's AI!

"Fat diabetics are typically type 2.

Type 1s are juvenile diabetes and have nothing to do with one's weight."

I agree. My son has type 1 diabetes so I have met many type 1 diabetics and none of them are overweight. Most are thin, because they have to watch what they eat.

”this morbidly obese woman has 9 kids and is 28 years old”

Anyone on long-term welfare should be voluntarily sterilized if they want to stay on. The welfare system subsidizes generational poverty.

How DARE Mattel present Barbie with unrealistic body image?!? My healthy daughters could never look like that, unless they stopped playing and sports and chores and eating the healthy food that we make for them!
