>There is only a small chance that Lupron might effect the glucose level
>in an insulinoma ferret. In a small percentage of adrenal ferrets
>(5-8%) the adrenal(s) overproduce cortisol along with the sex hormones
>and androgens. If you reduce the cortisol level this could lower the
>glucose level in an insulinoma ferret. This can happen after surgery
>to remove the adrenal gland too. Again this is a rare situation and 
>not a major problem. If the glucose decreases then increase the amount
>of Pediapred to compensate for the lower cortisol level.
