I usually recommend 2-3 times daily supplementation with duck soup or
chicken baby food (though my ferrets prefer turkey).  My duck soup
recipe for insulinoma is:
 
  1 cup crushed ferret food (I use Totally Ferret)
  1 cup heavy cream
  1 can a/d
  1 jar chicken baby food
  1 inch ferretvite
  Mix in the blender, store frozen in ice cube trays.
