1. An analytical aid for analyzing a body fluid, comprising:
- a base that is breakable into a first segment and a second segment to produce a broken edge when a bending force is applied to the base, the base having a recess;
a lancet connected to the base and having a lancet point that is located in the recess when the analytical aid is in an unused state, the lancet point becoming exposed for puncturing a body part when the base is broken into the first segment and the second segment;
a test element at which a body fluid is analyzed attached to the base; and
a cover that covers the lancet point when the analytical aid is in the unused state, wherein the lancet ruptures the cover when the base is broken and the analytical aid is moved from the unused state.

Abstract
An analytical aid including a base, a lancet and a test element. The lancet includes a lancet point and a distal end of the lancet can be attached to the base. At least the lancet point is located in a recess in the base and the recess can be closed by a cover as long as the analytical aid is in an unused state. The base includes a predetermined breaking point or position, at which the base is broken into two segments when stress is applied. The predetermined breaking point is arranged such that the lancet point is exposed for use when the base breaks at the predetermined breaking point. A test element is attached to the base.

11. An analytical aid for analyzing a body fluid, comprising:
-
a base that is breakable during use into a first segment and a second segment; a lancet connected to the base; a test element attached to the base; a measuring head configured to analyze an application area of the test element; and the analytical aid being movable from an unused position to a use position, wherein; in the unused position a point of the lancet is covered; and during movement from the unused position to the use position the base is broken into the first and second segments and one of the segments moves relative to the other, the lancet point becomes exposed for puncturing a body part, and the test element is moved to a position in which the test element is stretched over the measuring head. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. An analytical aid for analyzing a body fluid, comprising:
-
a base that is breakable about a brittle breaking point into a first segment and a second segment when stress is applied to the base, the base having a recess; a lancet connected to the base and having a lancet point that is located in the recess when the analytical aid is in an unused state, the lancet point becoming exposed for puncturing a body part when the base is broken into the first segment and the second segment; a test element at which a body fluid is analyzed attached to the base; and a cover that covers the lancet point when the analytical aid is in the unused state, wherein the lancet ruptures the cover when the base is broken and the analytical aid is moved from the unused state. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
