Barbie® recently debuted 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.
- Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM): The doll wears a CGM on her arm to help manage her type 1 diabetes. CGMs are small, wearable devices that continuously measure a person’s blood-sugar levels. To keep her CGM in place, she uses heart-shaped medical tape – Barbie pink, of course – along with a phone that displays a CGM app to help track her blood sugar levels throughout the day.
- Insulin Pump: Barbie has an insulin pump, a small, wearable medical device that allows for automated insulin dosing as needed, attached to her waist.
- Blue Polka Dot Outfit: The doll wears a stylish polka dot top and matching skirt with ruffles. Both the color blue and circle print are nods to the global symbols that represent diabetes awareness.
- Purse: The doll comes with a pastel blue purse, perfect for Barbie to carry any essentials, such as type 1 diabetes supplies or snacks, when she’s on the go

 Credit: HUM783 and Colin Doerffler Becky G is closing out a milestone-packed year with one final gift to her fans: the official release of the long-awaited fan favorite, “Hablamos Mañana” via Kemosabe Records / Sony Music Latin / RCA Records. First teased during the ESQUEMAS era and later performed on tour, the track has lived in fan comments and DMs for years, with listeners asking for its release at every turn. Now, as she wraps a transformative year, Becky delivers the song as a full-circle moment, a thank you to the fans who have been there through every era. Upbeat and undeniably playful, “Hablamos Mañana” leans into the tension of choosing the moment over the conversation — letting tomorrow wait in favor of something more intimate tonight. With infectious production by Di Genius and songwriting from SpreadLof, Nate Campany, and Elena Rose, the song sits effortlessly alongside Becky G’s signature delivery, serving as both a closing chapter and a bridge toward what’s next. The video doubles as a thank-you letter to fans, built from behind-the-scenes footage captured throughout the year. It pulls back the curtain on Becky’s world, highlighting the real moments, milestones, and memories that fans rarely get to see. Watch HERE. Just weeks after the Los Angeles premiere of her documentary REBBECA and ahead of its theatrical release on December 10 and 13, Becky returns to the music that started it all, offering fans a track that feels like a special gift made just for them. The release arrives on the heels of a landmark year, serving as yet another highlight to her momentum. She was honored on the TIME100 Next list, reinforced her influence in fashion by walking Willy Chavarria’s Paris Fashion Week show for the second time in celebration of Chicano culture, and delivered one of the year’s most talked-about American Music Awards performances alongside Manuel Turizo. She also premiered her intimate, career-defining documentary REBBECA at the Tribeca Film Festival, attended shows by Carolina Herrera, Stella McCartney, and Casablanca, and appeared at leading cultural moments like Vogue World.
