well, if you are using the computer, im guessing that you are not on a mechanical ventilator (the big machine that breathes for patients). when it comes to pneumonia -- think infection in the lungs -- it's either bacterial or viral. i think the risk of a diabetic person to get pneumonia is if he were intubated and mechanicall ventilated. to prevent pneumonia and lungs from collapsing, take deep breaths once in a while. ask for an incentive spirometer to help you achieve a goal in how deep you should breathe in. your doctor can give this to you and teach you how to use it -- this is only to help prevent pneumonia. about the vaccine -- for a diabetic person, im alway cautious with the medicines that he/she is taking. sometimes the medications for diabetes, it is very hard to add other medications along with it because of its potency. to be sure, ask your doctor first. i wouldn't mix medications if i were you
