Abstract Aim This study aimed to investigate the association between adherence EAT ‐Lancet diet and incidence of microvascular complications in type 2 diabetes ( T2D ). Materials Methods prospective included 7525 individuals with who were free diabetic (including retinopathy, neuropathy nephropathy) at baseline from UK Biobank cohort. Dietary data collected via a web‐based 24‐hour dietary recall questionnaire. The EAT‐Lancet index, ranging 0 14 points, was constructed based on reference diet. Cox proportional hazard models used examine relationship index among T2D. Results During mean follow‐up 12.58 years, 1217 participants developed complications. After adjusting for potential confounders, highest group had significantly lower risk developing (hazard ratio: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.64–0.88) compared those lowest group. Subtype analyses incident nephropathy yielded consistent results. Additionally, each 1‐point increase associated an 8% These findings remained robust across several sensitivity nearly all subgroups. Conclusion Our demonstrate significant inverse
