FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention can be used to measure the glucose level in a patient's blood. Glucose measurement system contains a biosensor having a plurality of electrodes with a reagent applied thereon, and a meter comprising a microcontroller connected to a power source, memory and a plurality of biosensor electrodes, wherein the microcontroller is configured to apply a signal to at least two electrodes after applying a fluid sample in proximity to at least two electrodes to start a test measurement sequence for an electrochemical reaction of the glucose in the fluid sample with an enzyme, to obtain an approximate concentration representative of the glucose in the fluid sample from the corresponding output signals of each of the plurality of electrodes at a plurality of selected time intervals from the start of the test measurement sequence, to obtain another approximate concentration representative of the glucose in the fluid sample from a combination of the corresponding output signals from a plurality of electrodes at a plurality of specific time intervals from the start of the test measurement sequence, and to determine a final glucose value in fluid sample from a median value of all the approximate glucose concentrations in the fluid sample. Method for determining glucose by means of the biosensor is also provided.
EFFECT: inventions provide an improvement in the measurement accuracy.
