(2) what kind of diabetic patients are allowed composite packs; and what items are included in such packs under one prescription charge.

§ Miss PittA urine sugar analysis set, containing a test tube, dropper, 36 diagnostic tablets, a colour chart, instruction sheet and analysis record, is prescribable as one item.
A more comprehensive pack for diabetic patients has not been found practicable; but two types of insulin prescribed at the same time count as one item.
