Diabetes care kit for American Girl dolls

This is so exciting!!!! My 9 yo was diagnosed this past June and can't wait to get this so she and her doll match! She has gotten a bit more reserved about telling people about her diabetes and this got her back to being her own advocate.

My sugar baby would LOVE one! She always wondered why she couldn't get a doll that has something just like her that she can take care of. But that you could find dolls with no hair for cancer victims . Or interracial dolls. She was super excited when this kit came out! This would make for a very happy young lady!

I've had diabetes for 32 years now, since the age of 8, and I have had a Minimed pump since 1999. My daughters would love to have a pump for their American Girl dolls so they could treat it just like Mommy! This is a wonderful addition to the AG collection!

This is so awesome! I would love this kit for my daughter and her AG doll! I've had diabetes for almost 20 years and my daughters are always very curious about all that I have to do just to keep up with managing my diabetes. I'm so excited this kit is finally out so I can get one for my youngest who is very into being a Mommy and caring for her "babies" and making sure hey have the best care.

My daughter is so excited about this saying that the pump is like mine. As a 23 year long T1D person and a failed pancreas transplant my family looks forward to children being educated about the challenges of T1D and how to live with it and with those around you with it.

This is wonderful. My daughter is NOT diabetic, but she has friends and family that are. I assist folks with diabetic care as part of my job and this would be a great way to explain what I do to her and to reinforce how important it is to be aware and take control of your health.

This is a wonderful thing you have created. My daughter has many American Girl dolls, :) but the one that is the most special is her twin that she made to look like her. She has helped me with my Type 1 diabetes since she was a toddler and would absolutely love a kit to help her doll also. She plans on being a doctor when she grows up and uses her dolls as patients. Thank you for expanding and teaching our girls.

It's awesome that a young girl inspired the creation of this kit - so many people are affected by diabetes, and many children can learn and relate to this disease better with this set!

When I was diagnosed, 38yrs ago, there were no toys at all for diabetes. I gave my dolls shots and made my own toys. When my daughter was diagnosed, 9yrs ago, there was rufus, but I still had to make her special things for her dolls. My daughter was talking about these kits and how she's too old for one now, when my son, and then my 4yr old daughter were diagnosed a week apart. She is so excited to have this available for her little sister, and is now trying to save up so she can get it for her.

So excited to see this! Our 2 1/2 year old recently got her diabetes pump and I showed this to her and she said "just like mine pump mommy!" I believe this is just what American Girl is about! Excited that the company listened to a young lady who had an idea and ran with it! Makes me want to support this company for sure! Thanks Amaeeican Girl!

I just love this. My son is a type 1 diabetic and he has a younger sister. She is actually the one who heard about this first. Now she is all excited and wants one for her doll so that it can be like her brother !

My sister has T1D and my daughter is so curious as to why she's always checking her blood sugar and wearing her pump. She would love this kit for her favorite American Girl Doll!

I am so thrilled they have finally recognized Tyye 1! My daughter is 10 and is looking forward to getting a pump for her doll. We have been following the story for a while now and happy American Girl finally made this. Hopefully it will bring more awareness to type 1 as well.

My oldest daughter was just recently diagnosed with Type 1 and so my youngest daughter and Son are all about Diabetes and the equipment she uses everyday. We would love to win the diabetes kit to have a learning tool for my younger kids. We Love American Girl!!

My little on gots an American doll and she will not stop asking

I was diagnosed late in life with type one and in many ways feel it has been a setback in my career ( as I was overwhelmed and refused the pump first). I'm now traveling 2 hours each way to get back into teaching and rather than people being supportive I'm feeling ashamed . I hope with the pump I'll level out and not have to share with coworkers. I don't like to fraternize because it always comes back to haunt me. I will not tell hiring boards about my chronic condition until after because I feel I've been passed over for positions I have more relevant teaching experience for as well as graduate coursework. It's been a shameful nightmare and the costs associated leave me making less healthy choices than I'd like at times because of costs. I concluded I cannot effectively manage a career, my illness and have a child so the dream of being a mother is one I will also forgo because it is unrealistic. Theres many resources for kids but not many to help 24 year old adults confused in DKA for the first of several times and denied the state health insurance children automatically assume when diagnosed with type 1. What I've experienced is shame and a great sense of insecurity and anxiety. I'm happy kids are getting such great support but as an adult I have only experiences the opposite, losing jobs because of my low sugar episodes and now riding. My sugar high in fear of going low at work putting organs at risk.

Hello My name is Kristina I’m 32 my 12 year old daughter was diagnosed March 6 2020 with type one diabetes she also has kidney disease as well. She has learning disabilities and I think this would really help her a lot if she can win. God bless
