1. A method of determining analyte concentration in physiological fluid, the method comprising:
- providing a reagent disposed between a first electrode and a second electrode;
depositing a physiological fluid on the reagent;
causing a physical transformation of an analyte in the physiological fluid into a different from and generating a current transient from each of the first and second electrodes;
determining a peak in the current transient for each of the first and second electrodes;
measuring a value of the current transient at a predetermined temporal offset from the peak of each current transient from each of the first and second electrodes in which the temporal offset for the first electrode comprises a first time offset from the peak of the current transient of the first electrode and the temporal offset from the peak of the current transient of the second electrode comprises a second time offset different from the first time offset; and
calculating the analyte concentration from the measured current values of the first and second electrodes in the measuring step.

Abstract
Measurement with a test strip having two working electrodes (12, 14), using the current transient (402, 404) for each working electrode measured at a predetermined durational offset (Tpred1, Tpred2) from a peak (408, 410) of the current transient.

11. A glucose measurement system to measure an analyte concentration in physiological fluid of a user, the system comprising:
-
a test strip including a first electrode, a second electrode and a reagent layer having a mediator in a test area disposed proximate the first and second electrodes, the electrodes being connected to corresponding contact pads; and an analyte meter having a microprocessor and a test circuit in connection with a test strip port that electrically connects the contact pads of the test strip so that, when the test strip is inserted into the test strip port with physiological fluid deposited in the test area, the meter is configured to apply a voltage potential over a duration and measure a current value of a current transient for each of the first electrode and the second electrode at a predetermined duration after a peak of the current transient in which the predetermined duration for the first electrode comprises a first time offset from the peak of the current transient of the first electrode and the predetermined duration from the peak of the current transient of the second electrode comprises a second time offset different from the first time offset, the current value of the current transient for each of the first and second electrodes being representative of the analyte concentration. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
