Rarely do I see something that makes me throughly thrilled. This is one of those moments. As of January 1st, American Girl began selling a Diabetes Accessory Kit for their Truly Me dolls. The kit includes the following:
- A blood sugar monitor and lancing device
- An insulin pump that can be clipped to a doll's waistband, plus an adhesive to attach the infusion set
- An insulin pen, for dolls that aren't using the pump
- A medical bracelet
- Glucose tablets
- A log book
- A special case for the supplies, plus an ID card
Stickers to add personalization- My now 18 year old son was diagnosed a little over two years ago with Juvenile Type 1 Diabetes. I just showed him the diabetic set for American Doll and despite his being a teenage guy, his face still lit up as he exclaimed, "Oh cool". Way to go American Girl....way to go!
