Type 2 diabetes is a growing health problem, largely in part to the continued rise in obesity. It is not unique to adults and is becoming more of a concern for children and teenagers. Type 2 diabetes is when the pancreas in the body does not produce enough insulin, or the body cannot effectively use the insulin. The usual solutions, depending on severity, are anything from diet control, to insulin stimulating drugs or a combination of both drugs and insulin to be taken.
The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is a cartilage structure located on the small finger side of the wrist that, cushions and supports the small carpal bones in the wrist. The TFCC keeps the forearm bones (radius and ulna) stable when the hand grasps or the forearm rotates.
For this reason, any tear in the TFC or the TFCC (the disc plus the ligaments) often leads to instability in the wrist â a common problem with gymnasts that often requires bracing that compresses the radius and ulna and limits extension (tiger paws, pegasus wrist supports, etc).
