I suspect someone just confused Ferretone with Nutrical which does
have sugar in forms such as corn syrup and cane molasses. Both are
very useful supplements when needed, for treats, or for training, but
when insulinoma is present we just don't give Nutrical unless the
blood sugar has acutely fallen too low.
