We decided to compare the QoL of T1DM patients to those suffering from CSU. Materials and methods: Sixty-six patients with well-controlled T1DM (male 52%) in the mean age of (SD) 36.3 (11.09) years and 51 patients with CSU (male 33%) in the mean age of (SD) 35.8 (8.53) years were enrolled in this observational study. All the participants completed a Short-Form 36 (SF-36) QoL. Results: The QoL related to social functioning was significantly worse among CSU patients. There were differences related to gender found in the group of patients with T1DM\u2014where men tended to declare a better quality of life than women (p = 0.015)\u2014especially in the area of energy\/fatigue and pain. It appeared that due to physical and emotional problems occurring in married patients, the QoL is lower in T1DM group in comparison to the CSU one. Conclusions: The patients with CSU presented significantly worse social functioning compared to the ones with T1DM. This fact proves the QoL impairment level is not always related to the level of health danger. The differences in the QoL related to gender and marital status found among T1DM patients point to the necessity for further exploration in a larger group of patients. Due to the fact that optimal disease management should ensure patient\u2019s good emotional well-being, there is a need for additional psychological and social care for patients from those two groups.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm9082505","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,4]],"date-time":"2020-08-04T10:45:17Z","timestamp":1596537917000},"page":"2505","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria and Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus\u2014Does Quality of Life Impairment Always Reflect Health Danger?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1230-7013","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zenon","family":"Brzoza","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine with Division of Allergology, Institute of Medical Sciences, University of Opole, 45-401 Opole, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Nabrdalik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Diabetology and Nephrology, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Zabrze, Medical University of Silesiain Katowice, 40-055 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lukasz","family":"Moos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine with Division of Allergology, Institute of Medical Sciences, University of Opole, 45-401 Opole, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1256-0414","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hanna","family":"Kwiendacz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Diabetology and Nephrology, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Zabrze, Medical University of Silesiain Katowice, 40-055 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karina","family":"Badura-Brzoza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry in Tarnowskie G\u00f3ry, School of Medicine with the Division of Dentistry in Zabrze, Medical University of Silesia, 40-055 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hanna","family":"Jarolim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Diabetology and Nephrology, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Zabrze, Medical University of Silesiain Katowice, 40-055 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Kapeluszna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine with Division of Allergology, Institute of Medical Sciences, University of Opole, 45-401 Opole, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Janusz","family":"Gumprecht","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Diabetology and Nephrology, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Zabrze, Medical University of Silesiain Katowice, 40-055 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1393","DOI":"10.1111\/all.13397","article-title":"The EAACI\/GA2LEN\/EDF\/WAO guideline for the definition, classification, diagnosis and management of urticaria","volume":"73","author":"Zuberbier","year":"2018","journal-title":"Allergy"},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"36","article-title":"Adaptation and initial results of the Polish version of the GA2LEN Chronic Urticaria Quality Of Life Questionnaire (CU-Q2oL)","volume":"62","author":"Brzoza","year":"2011","journal-title":"J.
