1. An analyte sensor configured for insertion into a host for measuring an analyte in the host, the sensor comprising:

  • a first working electrode disposed beneath an active enzymatic portion of a membrane;

    a second working electrode disposed beneath an inactive-enzymatic or non-enzymatic portion of a membrane; and

    an insulator located between the first working electrode and the second working electrode, wherein the sensor comprises a diffusion barrier configured to substantially block diffusion of at least one of an analyte and a co-analyte between the first working electrode and the second working electrode.
