An electrochemical glucose sensor comprising a base substrate, a
conductive layer disposed on said base substrate, where said conductive
layer comprises a reference electrode and at least two working
electrodes; an insulation layer disposed on a part of said conductive
layer, a reagent layer disposed on said working electrodes and on at
least a part of said reference electrode, an adhesive layer disposed on a
portion of said reagent layer and conductive layer wherein said adhesive
layer substantially defines an area of said reference electrode which can
be wetted by a liquid sample and said insulation layer substantially
defines an area of said working electrodes which can be wetted by a
liquid sample.
