1. A method for measuring a temperature during a test for determining a concentration of medically significant component of a biological fluid, comprising the steps of:

  • a) providing a sensor having at least one measurement electrode adapted to measure the biological fluid;

    b) applying a first signal to the measurement electrode;

    c) measuring a first response to the first signal;

    d) using the first response to produce an indication of a temperature of the biological fluid;

    e) applying a second signal to the measurement electrode;

    f) measuring a second response to the second signal to produce an indication of the concentration of the medically significant component; and

    g) determining a temperature-corrected concentration of the medically significant component based upon the first responses.
