1. A method of calibrating a glucose sensor, which method comprises:
- (a) preparing a first glucose-containing calibration solution by combining water or an aqueous solution with alpha and beta glucose, the alpha and beta glucose being provided in solid form;
(b) exposing a glucose sensor to said first glucose-containing calibration solution and determining the sensor output;
(c) exposing the glucose sensor to one or more further calibration solutions having different glucose concentrations from each other and from said first glucose-containing calibration solution and determining the sensor output for the or each calibration solution; and
(d) determining a calibration curve from the sensor output data collected in steps (b) and (c).
