So is it “not a joke”, or is it a parody? Not clear from the post above.
It’s real; I saw it in my Diabetes subreddit last night. It’s not the fat Barbie from the picture; it’s the slimmer one from a Freeper’s comment (#2, I think it was). This Barbie supposedly has Type 1 Diabetes, something one of my brothers has had since he was about two years old in 1970. The other brother was diagnosed with Type 2 several years ago, only to be reclassified as Type 1 a few years later. I’m figuring my recent diagnosis of Type 2 will eventually be bumped to Type 1; just haven’t had the test yet.
This Barbie seems nuts, but they make them for every other niche thing; might as well make them for diabetes, too, lol. My one brother sure grew up knowing NO ONE like him.
It’s DEFINITELY not a joke.
