Chromium LOWERS blood sugar--since diabetes is a bigger problem than low
blood sugar in humans, cats and dogs, this is a good thing.  But Chromium
will lower the blood sugar even if it is already normal or low, so this
is a bad thing for ferrets with insulinoma.
 
I don't believe it is known however if the amounts present in brewers
yeast is enough to have a real effect.  But I'd recommend avoiding it.
