Ferretone has no sugar.  Heavy whipping cream has no sugar but may cause
the runs.  If it does, mix it with a half tablet of Lactaid or other
lactase enzyme product.  Check the FHL archives.  I read a post there by
Dr. Williams that said a raisin was not likely to hurt an insulinomic and
may help raise the blood glucose.
