Ways to control hypoglycemia caused by insulinoma in pancreas?

Maybe ask you doctor about everolimus. It seemed to help my husband but was at same time as when he started chemo so unsure which or if it was the combo that worked. They only had him on it for about a month but his sugars have been steady ever since(6 months) he has metastasized insulinoma which started in the pancreas and metastasized to innumerable liver lesions.

I was on everolimus, but drs felt it was not aggressive enough. Have been put on capecitabine and telmidar. I'm fearful pancreas and liver have progressed. My glucose levels are harder and harder to just keep out of 50s. Food now makes it drop, where before thar wasn't case. Oncologist has advised to hang in there till we get petscan on Monday back. Appreciate everyone's support and help. My low blood sugar has really taken toll on quality of life, hinders me doing anything.
