Abstract

A glucose test arrangement is provided for use in a handheld meter. The arrangement comprises a disposable test pad responsive to glucose in a body fluid, and a supporting member adapted to support the test pad at an application site for applying body fluid from a user's skin onto a receiving area of the test pad. The receiving area faces away from the supporting member. One or more spacer elements are arranged on the supporting member adjacent to the test pad, wherein the one or more spacer elements have a skin-contacting end section which protrudes above the receiving area.
