For the past 64 years. Barbie has been a part of our lives, a cultural touchstone, or as Megyn Kelly referred to her on her podcast, the quintessential image of what a woman should be but never will be with her teenie tiny waist, enormous boobs, and forever legs - basically a sex or beauty object.

Greta Gerwig’s big screen makeover and the related marketing blitz are making us revisit and reevaluate Barbie in a whole new way, including our bedrooms. I say this because of Ken and Barbie's exchange about having a sleepover in the Movie Trailer that's constantly on TV.

If they're confused about what to do in the bedroom, you might be too, especially if you're dealing with sexual health issues related to diabetes. That's why we're taking a laser beam focus on the way Barbie and, sometimes, Ken have shaped and molded people's thoughts, ideas, desires, and fantasies about sex, love, and intimacy who are living with diabetes.

Our podcast guests: Janis Roszler PhD, LMFT, RDN, LD/N, CDCES, FAND and Donna Rice, MBA, BSN, RN, CDCES, FADCES, the co-authors of Divabetic's forthcoming e-book, Sweet Romance: A Woman's Guide to Love And Intimacy with Diabetes available on Amazon.
