| When I was dx I was actually told not to use alcohol on my skin!!
The doctor told me to use the alcohol to clean the tops of the insulin bottles. He said they were more likely to get dirty because the human body is self-cleaning, the plastic tops of insulin bottles are not. i.e. insulin bottles don't have an immune system.
I don't even use the alcohol on the bottles anymore, and no infections. Sometimes I hit a capillary and see a little blood, or get a bruise, but not often. It happens sometimes
