Hi all.  My 4+ year old female ferret was diagnosed with insulinoma.  I have
read that diazoxide (proglycem) is a great insulin-blocking agent.  However,
I have no info on side effects.  This drug is not cheap, but I am willing to
do anything to make her life more comfortable.  If any of you have had
experience with this drug or if a vet could tell me his/her experience I
would truly appreciate it.  Her glucose today was 45, she is real wobbly,
and very tired.  I am trying brewers yeast and feeding her properly.  Any
info on this drug would be appreciated.
