A method of determining dose sufficiency related parameters in a test strip for performing a measurement on a biological fluid comprising: a capillary fill chamber extending a length along the test strip from an intake opening to a terminus, a reagent disposed in the capillary fill chamber between the opening and the terminus, the reagent defining a measurement zone, and at least two dose sufficiency electrodes defining a gap there between and in operative with the capillary fill, chamber, the electrodes located between t he measurement zone and the terminus; applying the biological fluid to the opening, whereby the fluid flows from the opening towards the terminus; applying an AC test signal to a first one of the electrodes; determining the presence or absence of a response above a predetermined threshold at the second one of the electrodes, the response indicating that the fluid has occupied substantially all of the measurement zone.
