What tests have been done? Results?
CBC *AND* a Chemistry Panel?
Imaging?
Insulinoma is possible depending on the nature of the loss of control: how often it
happens, what else happens when that occurs, etc.
Also among the possibilities is that the adrenal growths may be lymphoma and at this
point perhaps that has spread to the spinal cord.
Spinal injury is possible.
There are a number of other possibilities, though, since there isn't much data there.
More details, please, on what testing has been done, on how often there is incontinence of
each type and under what conditions, more details, detail, details, please.
