PLEASE SHARE (and ‘like’ on facebook): 

A couple of weeks ago, my 7 year old type 1 diabetic daughter asked me why there wasn’t a diabetic Barbie. She had heard about a Barbie being made recently with no hair for a little girl battling cancer and was thinking that it would be nice to also have a diabetic Barbie out there! I actually went so far as to contact Mattel and ask them about this, because I think it is a fantastic idea…so many little girls are diagnosed at prime Barbie playing age and I think that it would make them feel special to have a Barbie out that is just like them. When I asked Mattel about this, they flat out told me that they do not accept unsolicited suggestions about their dolls. I find this very unfortunate. SO, I created this page in the hopes of starting a petition or something to see if they would be willing to change their minds. I think that if they put out these dolls, that sales would be through the roof personally. I appreciate any and all of your feedback. Please be kind in your comments about my Barbie pump making skills…lol…it was my first attempt.
