Abstract
Using a previously described computer algorithm to prospectively identify diabetics, we observed the adherence to published guidelines for treatment of dyslipidemia in diabetics. Despite national guidelines, dyslipidemia remains widely under-treated. Further interventions are needed to improve lipid-lowering treatment in appropriate candidates.
