There is a good article w/references about vanadium at diabetes-net.com/vanadium-diabetes.
While it mimics insulin (good for diabetics, bad for insulinomics) it's not seen as wonder-cure for diabetics because a lot of toxic side-effects are associated with usage. One of those is that it apparently *kills* beta cells.
Which may explain why using it is sometimes suggested for hypoglycemia. Unfortunately, it also has a lot of other bad side effects including *disrupting DNA*.
I guess if you feel you have nothing to lose, it may be worth trying. But I would be very careful as far as dosing goes. Even at low daily doses it causes nausea (seems to be the most benign of the many possible side effects).
I've been following this thread and doing the reading because this year 3 of my 4 kids have become insulinomic. This despite feeding no-grain kibble and raw diet....
