There is one typo in your statement I assume. End stage renal disease (ESRD) is stage 5 chronic kidney disease, not stage 4. When patient reaches ESRD, Insulin may not always be necessary. Survival varies a lot and the most important fact is oliguric (not making enough urine) or non-oliguric CKD. She survives much longer with non-oliguric type. Her time could be in the average of 6 - 24 months.

No one can predict that accurately. It is commendable you are worried about her. Best is to find someone e.g close friend, doctor or any relative to try to convince her to take care of herself. Good luck.
