Do you realize that today is exactly one year from your first post here about Tink? Happy anniversary! 
I decided to read this thread because I'm just starting out with a very similar problem with my little old timer, Max. He's diabetic and on insulin for a number of years now, but he just started walking around like he's drunk. Going the wrong way often, walking into walls, falling over without any warning. Two vet visits in the last four days. Max's blood glucose was 39 the first day and 34 today. Both readings were 6 hours after his last meal and insulin shot. Right now the doc has him on NO insulin and I am having to give him syrup or ice cream every few hours when he starts acting like his sugar is too low. I'll have to mention Insulinoma to his doc and see what she thinks.
Max will be 13 next month and has had a tough life. I posted a bit about him when I got him. Since then he has had both knees replaced, a hip replaced, and he went blind about five years ago. We lost his "brother", Rocky a year and a half ago. Rocky was 17. I really am having difficulty accepting that Max is so sick now.
Anyway, I mainly wanted to post my happiness reading all of this thread about Tink and to wish you all well. Keep taking care of that little one!
Take care.

Sorry to hear your Max is having some issues...my very best wishes for your little man. Insulinoma is a rarity, but something to ask your Vet about. Be sure to feed frequent, small meals and "try" to keep his activity level to a minimum until he's feeling more stable. Please do keep us updated, I'm curious to see how he does off insulin. Hugs to your Max!
