It can mean that someone is providing a lot of specific information about something, or it can mean that someone is going into a lot of specific detail about something.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_diabetes\"><\/span>Types of diabetes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are three types of diabetes: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. People with type 1 diabetes must take insulin to survive.<\/p>\n<p>Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes. It occurs when the body does not use insulin properly. People with type 2 diabetes may need to take insulin, but many can manage their diabetes with diet and exercise alone.<\/p>\n<p>Gestational diabetes is diabetes that occurs during pregnancy. Most women who have gestational diabetes have no symptoms and do not know they have it. However, gestational diabetes can cause problems for both the mother and the baby.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Properties_of_Alum\"><\/span>Properties of Alum<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Alum is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water. It is used in water treatment and as a food additive. Alum is a source of aluminum.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alum_Water_Treatment\"><\/span>Alum Water Treatment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Water that has been exposed to alum will have a higher pH and a lower conductivity. Alum is used to clarify water by causing suspended particles to clump together so they can be more easily removed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uses_of_Alum\"><\/span>Uses of Alum<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Alum is an astringent, which means that it helps to shrink and tighten body tissues. As a result, alum is often used as a styptic to help stop bleeding from cuts. Alum is also used as a preservative in food and as a color fixative in dyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Alum? Alum is a mineral that is used as an astringent.
