| I test closer to 4 times a day.
I never clean my finger with alcohol. I just try to make sure my hands are clean. If I've recently washed them, I don't go out of my way to wash them again.
I use the same lancet for maybe two weeks to a month. I could probably go longer than that, but I try to change it out every once in a while so that it doesn't get dull and hurt.
