Dear,
If you have been diagnosed for the first time of TB then streptomycin is not needed. It is combination of four drugs to be taken for first two months followed by 2 drugs for another 4 months.

Treatment of PTB is usauly by 4 drugs and dose is calculated on weight basis.As you are diabetic,your intensive phage should have been for 3 months and not for 1 month and also maintenance phage of ATT should be of 6 month,so total of 9 month treatment has to be taken. You should have periodic xray chest, sputum AFB and liver function test done.Your diabetic should be under control ,otherwise all treatment will be waste.

some patients need long term of 9 months
some require culture to see which one drug combination is best
no blood tests to clarify this point.
