Medicine Wheel centers upcoming aboriginal diabetes convention
It’s a twist on the aboriginal Medicine Wheel.
On Wednesday, the 11th annual Saskatchewan Aboriginal Gathering on Diabetes will take place at the Prince Albert Exhibition Centre.
This year’s theme is the Diabetes Medicine Wheel, which is a variation of the aboriginal Medicine Wheel.
“We want to touch on the four aspects of being an aboriginal with diabetes,” said public and programs director with the Canadian Diabetes Association Lauren Suchan, which encompasses nutrition, medicine, as well as spiritual and physical health and well-being. “So we want to try and tie all of these themes together with diabetes and with the aboriginal medicine wheel.”
