    Update:

    Today i couldn't see much anymore with my right eye, the blur got worse, my hba1c blood sugar levels were spiking to 119 (last time i was tested it was 78 and best would be 54), seems like the new ozempic pills didn't work at all and the metformine stopped working too.

    When my gp noticed my very bad eyesight she sent me immediately to the eye doctor in the hospital.

    The diagnose was that i suffered from thrombosis in my right eye and now it contains fluid inside the eyeball. which give me the very blurred vision, next friday i have to go back for my first treatment.

    The treatment consists of 3 injections directly in the eyeball, for the next three or 4 months, this to get rid of the fluids and when all goes well some improvement of my eyesight.

    Yesterday when i had to use https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com to fetch the updates i experienced real pain when looking a long time to that white website.

    I hope everything goes as planned with your eyesight recovery. And if you need help with posting the download links for insider builds or the release preview builds, just let me know. ;)

    And a small update on my situation, yesterday went to my GP to have my yearly blood pressure and blood test and good news on the blood pressure not as high as I expected (plus I've been cutting down on the takeaways). I got my blood test results, and it states that my cholesterol level has gone up slightly from 6.2 to 6.4, my GP usually aims for below 5. Apart from that everything else was okay. :)

    I have been a T1 diabetic for 63 years, brittle for the last 50 years.
    I have been taking insulin injections all along w/ 4 shots probably the last 40 years using a sliding scale depending on my BS level.
    Times sure have changed since I was a kid w/ diabetes boiling my glass syringe & sharpening the needle on a sharpening stone.
    Now I use the FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus CGM for my BS (mg/dL) testing.
    I have 2 doctors. My PCP & a Endocrinologist.
    Below is my last blood test, I have been tracking them for many years
