@bnjncrew, I'd like to add my welcome. I augmented the title of your discussion to reflect the question you asked about treatment.
You may also be interested in reading this related discussion that @ahtaylor started back in 2017 when first diagnosed and asking about testing for insulinoma. The discussion continues to be active to this day with contributions from members like @marilyn2525 @jadedprincess @pontiac @kapple @skhollandmt @gaylejean and others

He Is fine with the Octreotide. He has been on it since June 2022. We have had a bit of a haul since last spring when first diagnosed. I am happy to say we have seen improvement from the chemo and he is now able to eat after losing 90+ lbs. (He had a good excess at the outset) . We are hopeful as his sugars have maintained normalcy since starting the chemo. I thank you for asking.
