I don't know what the discussion was, I don't seem to be receiving all posts
or not in a timely fashion but with a blood glucose of 3.4 or 4.3, I would
assume that it was measured in mmol/l as it is done here in the UK for
example. 3.4 mmol/l is 61.2 mg/dl and 4.3 mmol/l is 77.4 mg/dl.

I don't know if there was an error in your translation of the lab values,
but 3.4 or 4.3 is
not a normal ferret BG! It should be somewhere along the lines of one
hundred and
something. Ferrets with insuloma are known to drop below 50 and still seem
to
function normally. If the ferrets BG was truly that low, fasting it would
be the LAST
think you would want to do, it would make it drop lower.
