I mean yeah of course they're doing it to make money but again I don't see the harm, if a kid has diabetes it's not like they don't know that and feel a bit different from their friends sometimes because they have to take meds etc, imo the doll is just normalising that a bit more, like if they had Barbie in a wheelchair (which i think they probably have done) and they have definitely had hospital barbie sets etc
