  • a flexible substrate having an electrical pattern on a surface of the substrate;

    the substrate having a kink at which the substrate is at least partly kinked, the kink dividing the surface into two interconnected outer surfaces and dividing the substrate into two substrate halves and two electrical pattern halves, wherein each electrical pattern half has at least one electrode portion, the electrode portion being one or both of a portion of a working electrode and a portion of a further electrode, and wherein each electrical pattern half further has at least one portion of a contacting element connected to the respective electrode portion, and wherein the substrate halves and the electrical pattern halves have substantially the same shape, and wherein the electrical pattern is disposed on the two outer surfaces of the biosensor when the biosensor is folded about the kink and inserted into the subcutaneous tissue of a user.
