Background  The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been increasing in recent years in China. This study aimed to evaluate the association between DM and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with CKD.    Methods  In our study, participants with CKD stage 1 to 4 from 39 centers in China were screened and enrolled. The Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL™-36) questionnaire was used to assess HRQOL. Participants were divided into a diabetic group and a non-diabetic group. Demographic data, clinical data, and HRQOL scores were compared between the two groups. Multivariable robust regression was used to analyze the factors related to HRQOL in CKD patients.    Results  A population of 2742 CKD patients was included in this study. CKD patients with DM were older and had lower education level, longer treatment periods and a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease than CKD patients without DM ( P  < 0.05). HRQOL scores in the “symptoms and problems”, “effects of kidney disease”, and “SF-12 physical function” dimensions were significantly lower in the diabetic group than the non-diabetic group (86.88 ± 13.76 vs. 90.59 ± 10.75, 84.78 ± 14.86 vs. 87.28 ± 12.45, and 41.40 ± 9.77 vs. 45.40 ± 8.82, respectively, all  P <  0.05). DM was negatively correlated with the symptoms and problems (regression coefficient for log transformed [175-score] = 0.010) and the SF-12 physical function dimension (regression coefficient = − 2.18) (all  P  < 0.05).    Conclusion  HRQOL of diabetic patients with CKD was worse than that of non-diabetic patients with CKD. DM was an independent and negative factor affecting HRQOL in patients with CKD.
