Systems and kits for measuring the concentration of an analyte in a bodily fluid include a durable component, at least one indicator component comprising an indicator zone, and at least one moisture sensor. The kit has a number of individually packaged indicator components. A method of measuring an analyte concentration in a bodily fluid and predicting a future health risk comprises collecting and transporting the bodily fluid to at least one colorimetric analyte sensing element and detecting the presence of the bodily fluid in contact with the at least one colorimetric analyte sensing element. collecting optical data relating to at least one colorimetric analyte sensing element with at least one spectrophotometer after a predetermined period of time after detecting the presence of bodily fluid; transferring to a computing system, and analyzing the optical data to determine the concentration of the at least one analyte in the bodily fluid. |
