Why do people with type 1 diabetes inject with insulin?

Therefore, insulin injections would be a suitable treatment for diabetics because it gives them enough insulin to maintain their blood glucose levels.
Why would a diabetic person require injections of insulin 2 or even 3 times a day?

Slow acting insulin (basal) is used to maintain the blood sugars though out the day. Short answer is for better blood sugar control.
Do insulin-dependent diabetics ever inject themselves with glucagon or cortisol?
Glucagon, yes. Cortisol, probably not. Glucagon raises blood sugar. Many type one diabetics own glucagon injectors, so that when their blood sugar goes too low they (or someone with them) can inject them with glucagon. Cortisol does raise blood sugar, but it is not used to raise blood sugar. It's used to treat many other diseases, but not the low blood sugar which type 1 diabetics sometimes get.
