Abstract: A hand-held test meter for use with an analytical test strip (such as an electrochemical-based analytical test strip) for the determination of an analyte (e.g., glucose) in a bodily fluid sample, the hand-held test meter including a housing with an analytical test strip contact pressure feature, a printed circuit board (PCB) with at least one solder bump disposed in the housing. The housing of the hand-held test meter is configured for the insertion of an analytical test strip therein. In addition, the analytical test strip contact pressure feature is configured to operatively apply pressure on the inserted analytical test strip such that at least one electrical contact of the inserted analytical test strip is operably pressed against the solder bump, thereby creating a direct operable electrical connection between the inserted analytical test strip and the solder bump of the PCB.

Abstract: Various embodiments are described and illustrated to calculate an insulin bolus, recommend such bolus, and provide reminder messages for performing an additional glucose test.

Abstract: Various systems and methods of operating an analyte measurement device is provided. The device has a display, user interface, processor, memory and user interface buttons. In one example, one of the methods can be achieved by measuring an analyte with the analyte measurement device; displaying a value representative of the analyte; prompting a user to activate a test reminder; and activating the test reminder to remind a user to conduct a test measurement at a different time. Other methods and systems are also described and illustrated.
