SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEASURING AN ANALYTE IN A SAMPLE 5 Methods for calculating an analyte concentration of a sample are provided. In one exemplary embodiment the method includes steps that are directed toward accounting for inaccuracies that occur as a result of temperature variations in a sample, a meter, or the surrounding environment. In another exemplary embodiment the method includes steps that are directed toward determining whether an adequate 10 sample is provided in a meter because insufficient samples can result in inaccuracies. The methods that are provided can be incorporated into a variety of mechanisms, but they are primarily directed toward glucose meters for blood samples and toward meters for controls solutions. 17/03/1 Ijm 19143mar7.speci,2 - 462 65 -2-- 70$ FI.i
