another thing you might want to look into is having the meds in liquid form. Liquid form means that the doseage is exact every time; in the case of pills, if you are splitting them, you may not be giving the enough one time, and too much the next. This not only has to do with the size of the pill, but the contents of the piece you are giving.
Our experience with insulinoma is that we increase the prednisolone when needed, and directed by a vet. It isnt' a one time doseage, it will increase throughout the course of the disease. You can also ask for stronger concentrations so that they are not filling their tummies up with meds, but have moer room for food.
You can change the doseage to 3x per day, as opposed to twice a day. That evens out the eds, but also gives more feeding times. We worked during the day, but whenever we could (weekends, days off, etc) we'd use a 3x per day schedule.
The last thing you can do is add DIAZOXIDE in addition to pred. Both meds work on insulinoma in different ways, and we've had good experience doing both.
Hope this helps.
