Hi and sorry to hear about what your sister in law is going through.
Please, insulin is not a treatment option for TB. You may want to ask your doctor what the reason for the insulin is(generally for diabetes treatment) and why every 3days because i don't know of any insulin prescribed for every 3days.
From the information you have provided, your sister may be having extra pulmonary TB. It is totally curable with drugs unless otherwise. Ask your doctor where you can find a doctor who specialises in treating this condition.
I wish her a speedy recovery.
