It really depends. If you are on Basal Bolus, then you inject yourself with insulin four times a day: after every meal (with quick acting insulin) and then before bed (with slow acting insulin).

Why would a diabetic person require injections of insulin 2 or even 3 times a day?
There are different types of insulin with different release profiles. Fast acting insulin is typically taken at meal times to counteract blood sugar spikes from the meal. Slow acting insulin (basal) is used to maintain the blood sugars though out the day. Short answer is for better blood sugar control.
Why blood sugar be dropped slowly in pediatric ketoacidocis patient?
A pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis patient has high blood glucose concentrations after taking a meal and this wil drop very slowly because the cells who produce insulin (the beta-cells of the pancreas) don't produce enough insulin. Insuline acts on the liver and other organs( this will decrease the blood glucose concentration).

Is diabetes caused by a virus or bacteria?
Diabetes isn't caused by either bacteria or a virus. It is to do with your pancreas not creating enough insulin which regulates the amount of sugar in your blood. There are two types of Diabetes type 1 and type 2. People are born with type 1 diabetes which means their pancreas does not create enough/any insulin. Before they eat a meal they must inject themselves with insulin, this controlls the amount of sugar in the blood so it doesn't become too high and create hyperglycaemia. If the diabetic didn't inject themselves with insulin they would be at risk of dying. To avoid their blood sugar levels rising dramatically they also watch what they eat and do regular exercise.

How would you treat with diabetes?
Well there are two types of diabetes. Type 1 is where your immmune system attacks the beta cells of your pancreas stopping it from producing insulin. People with Type 1 diabetes have to inject insulin after every meal. Type two diabetes is slightly different and is where the pancreas not being able to create enough insulin or where the body is resistant to the insulin that is prduced. This can often be treated with other medications and a controlled diet. Apparently olive oil helps regulate blood sugar levels ans is therefore helpful to people with diabetes. :)
