Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

We hypothesize that when compared to usual care a greater proportion of hospitalized diabetic patients who are candidates for cholesterol lowering will be discharged with a prescription for a statin if their physicians are contacted by a pharmacist to discuss treatment guidelines.
