I very rarely change my lancet , and have been known to use only one needle for all my jabs per day.

I must admit I don’t change the needle on my injection pens as often as I should
Im sure that one is supposed to be a clean one each time

@SB2015 what do you wipe the blood away with, tissue flannel or hand. I had read you shouldn't use wet wipes because of their content.
Thank you for warning about using a used needle on others but I wouldn't be so daft but I can see others may do it thoughtlessly.

I just wipe the blood away with my finger then wait for the next drop for the test. Afterwards I just lick my finger.
