Methods and Results: The 1,049 patients were randomly assigned to either the rosuvastatin group or atorvastatin
group. There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in the effect on non-high-density lipoprotein
cholesterol (non-HDL-C) and HbA1c at 12 months. However, physicians tended to switch to more intensive therapy
for DM in the atorvastatin group.
