My vet has told me that there has been some anecdotal evidence that
suggests that melatonin does decrease glucose levels.
Plus, when one of my ferrets became diabetic soon after having the
implant done I found on the website where it says that melatonin has
an effect on cortisol and may lead to lower glucose levels.

Lupron Injection?
