A physician with DM may not initially delay receiving diabetes services because he/she is quicker to recognize the relevant factors and care for themselves better than patients in the general population. Nonetheless, if a physician with DM is neglecting his/her personal health by failing to adhere to the DM treatment protocol, his/her condition may worsen more rapidly. It has been shown that low help-seeking is a personality trait that is a risk factor connected with severedisorders. In this study, the best strategy in chronic diseases for an improved outcome is to strictly follow the appropriate protocol, regardless of whether the patient is a doctor or a general patient.
