1. A body fluid testing device, comprising:
- at least one penetrating member;
a penetrating member driver configured to be coupled to the at least one penetrating member;
a plurality of analyte sensors on a spoked disk substrate that includes a plurality of spokes, each of a penetrating member not being on a same substrate as a sensor, wherein each of a penetrating member can pass between spokes of the disk substrate to provide that a used penetrating member can be removed and a new penetrating inserted without removing the disk, each of an analyte sensor positioned in a sample chamber;
a plurality of end-fill sip-in strips, each of an end-fill sip-in strip coupled to a sample chamber, the spoked disk substrate being oriented with an axis of lancet actuation positioned at right angles to a plane of the disk and at least a portion of the spokes being repositionable with an end-fill sip-in strip;
a disposable housing that houses the at least one penetrating member and the plurality of analyte sensors and sample chambers;
wherein the spoked disk has a plurality of spokes where at least a portion of the spokes are bent out of plane for use; and
wherein the plurality of analyte sensors are located on the plurality of spokes.

Abstract
A body fluid testing device has at least one penetrating member and a penetrating member driver configured to be coupled to the at least one penetrating member. A plurality of analyte sensors are coupled to a spoked disk substrate. Each of a penetrating member can pass between spokes of the disk substrate to provide that a used penetrating member can be removed and a new penetrating inserted without removing the disk. A disposable houses the at least one penetrating member and the plurality of analyte sensors.
