Survey included items to determine patient's perceptions of current pharmacy services, level of satisfaction with these services; medication related education presently received in clinic, services the patient would desire from pharmacists if made available in clinic, and those factors that would influence use of pharmacy services.

PATIENTS: 81 veterans with type 2 diabetes mellitus managed with oral antidiabetic agents alone.

Secondary goals were to assess the types of changes made to therapy and to estimate the ACEI/CCB concomitancy rates (the number of patients receiving both medications at the same time) among these hypertensive patients, and the cost impact of these.
