Thousands of different Barbie dolls have made their way into shops since they first started being made - but now the first Barbie with type 1 diabetes has been released.
Diabetes is a condition that causes a person's blood sugar level to become too high.
In recent years a blind doll has been introduced, as well as one with Down's syndrome - this latest addition also aims to increase representation amongst the range.
The new Barbie also features technology that people with type 1 diabetes use to help manage the effects of the condition.
The type 1 diabetes doll will feature a continuous glucose monitor and insulin pump.
The new doll has a blue polka dot top and skirt - both the colour blue and circle print are symbols used around the world to represent diabetes awareness.
Mattel, who are the company that make Barbies, hope the new addition will help young people with the condition feel more confident.
