British model Lila Moss has launched the first Barbie doll with type 1 diabetes, in collaboration with Mattel.

Moss commented 'I am proud to use my platform to educate around type 1 diabetes and show that being different is cool. Receiving messages from people who see my patches and feel represented means everything to me. To be able to now see Barbie dolls with type 1 diabetes, and to receive a Barbie doll that visibly looks like me even wearing her patches, is both surreal and special'.
