About the solution
Madilynn said, “It makes me feel comfortable, and it feels like I have someone else in the family who has diabetes too.”
Her mother Kellie saw on David’s facebook page that he had bought a 3D printer, so she asked if he could make an insulin pump for her daughter’s doll.
Kellie says she's asked American Girl to make diabetic supplies for a while.
Kellie said, “That’s what American Girl is about - make your doll like you - you can have glasses, you can have hearing aids, wheelchairs, food allergies, epi-pens... But they don’t have an insulin pump.” She added, “Luckily I had a good friend that can make that happen.”
Rinaldi made this insulin pump, a blood sugar transmitter, and receiver for a doll that is now just like Madilynn.
