When given properly, they are relatively painless injections of supplemental insulin that need to be added to your bloodstream to maintain a safe and steady blood glucose (blood sugar) level.
They are necessary because most or all of the insulin your pancreas produces is "destroyed" by your immune system when you have Diabetes.
ALWAYS use a new syringe for each injection for the obvious danger of infection, but a syringe is also the least painful (if at all) with its FIRST use. It's all downhill after that, like a new knife or razor blades.

Can you get so many insulin injections that your Diabetes is cured?
No. Diabetes is not cured by using insulin injections. You are giving yourself insulin injections because your body cannot produce enough insulin itself; therefore, if you were not to take the insulin injections you would have further detrimental complications. Once your body stops making insulin, it never "starts" making it again.
