[QUOTE="iHs, post: 98429, member: 8799"] Kewgirl Beef insulin was also about in the 60's and 70's. I found it much nicer to use than pork insulin. Could not get on at all with pork based Monotard MC so switched from beef Lente to Lentard MC. Pork insulin made me go hypo too quickly :cry: Sadly animal insulins have their problems. Beef Lente insulin caused me to develop a dent like appearance in the top of my leg. The problem was due to the depot effect of injecting 32 units to last me over a 24hr period. Over a period of just 5 years, a small dent started to appear so I wasn't too happy. Because of this, the consultant decided to put me on Monotard pork and told me to inject into the dent with the hope that the pork insulin would make the dent swell up. All it did though was to cause me to have a painful lump where the dent once was and gave me fairly bad hypos with little warning so was glad to come off the stuff. Lentard MC though was all ok and I stayed on that until the late 70's. [/QUOTE]
