Insulinoma is a progressive disease and she may need a higher dose of Pred now. Adding Diazoxide might also help. But, what I would suggest most is to find a ferret vet who is not 'incompetent'.
Here is a link to help find a recommended ferret vet in your area:

As for when to 'let her go', no one can give you specifics. But you should know that ferrets can hide a lot of pain and act 'normal' sometimes, but be really hurting most of the other time.
I found this link to be helpful when we were torn as to when we should help Neo to pass. http://www.ferret-fact.org/Letting.htm
It is a VERY difficult decision, but my belief is that when all else has been tried, and the inevitable is coming, it is our last duty of love to help them pass in peace, before they know nothing but pain in their last hours in this world.
