1. In an elongated electrode strip for performing an electrochemical measurement of glucose in whole blood, in which the electrodes used to perform the measurement are covered with a mesh layer that extends a distance beyond the electrodes along the length of the strip, and the mesh is covered by a liquid impervious layer in which there is an aperture that does not overlay the electrodes, the improvement comprising:

  • a partial occlusion of the mesh that underlays the aperture, which partial occlusion reduces the total volume of blood needed to perform the measurement.
