Flu and Pneumonia Shots Can Be Lifesavers for People with Diabetes If you have diabetes, getting the flu or pneumonia can mean more than aches and pains. It can mean being sick longer, going to the hospital, and even dying. In fact, with diabetes, you are about three times more likely to die with flu and pneumonia than people without diabetes. During flu epidemics, you are six times more likely to go to the hospital. This risk is even higher if you have other illnesses in addition to your diabetes, such as heart disease and kidney disease.
