Older Than 40 With T1D?
Small-Fiber Sensory Neuropathy May Be Common After 40 Years Of T1D.
Medscape (9/19, Tucker) reports that research published online in Diabetes Care suggests that “after 40 years of living with type 1 diabetes, nearly all patients have small-fiber sensory neuropathy and a majority also has large-fiber nerve dysfunction.” Investigators came to these conclusions after studying “27 patients (12 women, 15 men), aged 53 years on average, who had had type 1 diabetes for a mean duration of 40 years and who were part of the Oslo Study, a larger ongoing prospective trial.”

Halibut and Red Pepper Skewers with Chili-Lime Sauce Recipe at Epicurious.com
Happy, Healthy Labor Day!
Halibut & Red Peppers With Chili Lime Sauce
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 teaspoons minced serrano chilies with seeds
1 1/2 pounds 1-inch-thick halibut fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 30 pieces)
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch triangles (about 30 pieces)
6 green onions, cut into 1-inch lengths (about 30 pieces)
Whisk fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons sugar, chopped fresh cilantro, and minced serrano chilies in small bowl until sugar fully dissolves. Let sauce stand 1 hour at room temperature to allow flavors to blend together. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. (Chili-lime sauce can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring sauce to room temperature before using.)
Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Alternate halibut pieces, bell pepper pieces and onion pieces on six 10- to 12-inch metal skewers. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle kebabs with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Grill until fish is opaque in center and singed in places, turning kebabs occasionally, about 6 minutes. Transfer kebabs to platter. Serve kebabs, passing chili-lime sauce separately.
