Nutritional status plays an important role in the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes (DM). We aimed to investigate the dietary intake level including diversification and nutrients intake in TB patients with and without DM. Also, health‐related quality of life (HRQL) in this population were investigated. A total of 256 TB patients were eligible in the study and 98 of them were diagnosed of DM simultaneously. Food frequency questionnaire was used to detect the various food type and frequency, and dietary intake was collected by the method of 3‐day 24 hour dietary intake. Chinese version of the Short Form‐36 (SF‐36 v2) questionnaire was used to evaluate HRQL. We found that most TB‐DM patients had a good dietary diversification. Food type analysis showed that beans and milk intake in TB patients were lower than that in TB‐DM patients (P<0.05). Daily intake of vitamins including riboflavin, niacin, vitamin E and minerals including calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus and selenium in TB‐DM were significantly lower than the Recommended Nutrient Intakes (RNIs) suggested by Chinese Nutrition Society (P<0.05). Compared with Chinese general population, TB‐DM patients had lowered scores of all the eight SF‐36 dimensions. Except for role physical (RP) and mental health (MH), the scores of TB‐DM patients were all lowered than TB patients. In conclusion, TB‐DM patients had a low daily intake of a variety of nutrients, especially vitamins and minerals, and the lowered health‐related quality of life in this population requires attention in the clinical treatment.
