Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, the study population composed of 185 type 2 diabetic patients (with mean age of 51.62 years). The food frequency questionnaire (containing 147 food items), was completed to assess dietary intake. Then, acid load indices of potential renal acid load (PRAL) and Net Endogenous Acid Production (NEAP), was calculated for each person. Inflammatory factors (Creactive protein, interleukin-6, and TNF-α), and anthropometric factors (weight, height, waist circumference, and body fat percentage), were measured. Data were analyzed by linear regression, Pearson, and covariance tests.
