1. An analyte measurement system comprising:
- a test meter with a housing, the test meter including a connector module disposed in the housing, the connector module including a plurality of spaced apart contact leads disposed in the connector module, and providing potential and/or current to the contact leads and determining analyte concentration from test strip signals; and
a test strip comprising a generally planar substrate, the test strip including a plurality of conductive areas disposed on the substrate to define five distinct conductive portions comprising at least five contact lands defining respective vertices of a regular polygon with an odd number of at least five sides, and in which two contact lands are located in a single conductive portion so that the plurality of spaced apart contact leads engage respective contact lands when the substrate is inserted into the connector module.
