Aboriginal Diabetes Program Funding

The federal government is being urged to ensure there is funding in next week's budget for an aboriginal diabetes program.

The National Aboriginal Diabetes Association says an initiative they've overseen for the past five years is due to run out of money at the end of next month.

Dina Bruyere heads up the association and says as many as 600 diabetes programs on reserves are reliant on the funding.

Bruyere says they have been trying to find out if their funding will be continued, but so far the federal government has been mum on the issue.
