1. A system for measuring blood analytes, said system comprising:
- a plurality of dry strips, said test strips including a test strip of a first test strip type for measuring a first analyte type and a second test strip of a second test strip type for measuring a second analyte type different from said first analyte type, said types of test strips selected from the group consisting of;
test strips for measuring the concentration of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, test strips for measuring the concentration of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, test strips for measuring the concentration of lipoprotein cholesterol other than HDL and LDL, test strips for measuring total blood cholesterol, test strips for measuring a triglyceride, test strips for measuring glucose, and test strips for measuring a ketone; and
a single-user container of a size that can be held in one hand by a human being, said single-user container containing said first and second test strips.

Abstract
A plurality of different types of dry strips are packaged in a single-user container. Strip-specific scheduling information for using the dry test strips is placed either in or on the container. The scheduling information may be provided to the packager by a physician and may be stored on an electronically or optically readable storage device packaged with the test strips. The storage device may be a memory, which memory may be inserted into a dry test strip reader and the scheduling information may be communicated to the user either visually or audibly.
