About the solution
Having diabetes has changed her life, so now Anna has to be mindful of her condition and take blood sugar tests before she eats.
"I have to go to the nurse's office every day before I eat. And if I think I have low blood sugar, I have to go to the nurse in the middle of class and I miss a lot of stuff while I'm in the nurse's office."
Anna said her invention stems from how she felt when she was diagnosed with diabetes.
"I was really scared," she said. "This is for little girls who are first afraid. They might be really scared. If they have this, they might be less scared. And they can pretend their doll has it too."
Anna's idea is that by combining favorite toys such as American Girl dolls and the equipment she must always carry to manage her diabetes, girls will be less afraid of the disease.
