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 BarbieĀ® 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.

JFTR, that is not the doll; this is. I did not investigate the Pop Base account on X either.

So is it “not a joke”, or is it a parody? Not clear from the post above.

Fat diabetics are typically type 2.

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

They could make a Barbie that looks like Mary Tyler Moore playing Laura Petrie in Dick Van Dyke, and that would be realistic enough.

Looks more like type 2 diabetes Barbie.

Read somewhere that if a woman had Barbie’s proportions, she would be nine feet tall.

When I was a kid, diabetes was practically unknown in my schools.

Only one kid had it in that entire school of probably 500 students...............

LOL. Too funny. Especially the “3+” rating.

A type 1 diabetic is not an automatically obese person.

The type 1 diabetes folks I’ve known weren’t obese. Really if anything, the type 2 dibetes folks have a better chance at being overweight/obese because they wind up burning out their beta cells from their regular high refined carb/sugar diets.

Is that “Mudshark Momma” from Mattel?

Yes, if the human race somehow offs itself and some future alien archaeologists come to research our planet and find Barbie Dolls, they will think we were a race of giants...............

"Looks more like type 2 diabetes Barbie."

Spot on. My son was diagnosed with type I when he was nine. He wasn't an once overweight. Type I is an autoimmune disease where the insulin-creating cells are destroyed by your own immune system. Type II is entirely different.

this morbidly obese woman has 9 kids and is 28 years old. She says she is pregnant with triplets.

This video shows what she cooks for her kids for breakfast.

The EBT videos hack me off. I saw one with several carts of groceries and frozen pizza. By the time they get out of that store it will likely be almost unthawed.

I think the problem most Barbies have is anorexia nervosa--which is of course a physical ailment (skeletal skinny-ness) caused by a mental one (a desire to starve oneself). I want to see reeeelly skinny Barbie at the psychiatrist, on the couch, with a guide pamphlet in the box, telling how not to eat weird, and what to do about it if you do.

(And not how to try and change your sex, either. . .)
