My vet recommends Pro Plan Chicken and Rice formula for cats for ferrets
and my ferret who was diagnosed with insulinoma did very well on it.
Have you tried using Azium instead of Pred? My ferret loved the taste so
much he thought it was a treat!
As for anything else you should be weary of visit the following website
from the Ferret Association of Connecticut and you will have a much
better understanding of insulinoma its treatment, etc.:

[Moderator's Note: Azium is dexamethasone. It is not usually the preferred steroid for
this use, but has been used for ferrets who don't tolerate Prednisolone.]
