Well something interesting about the mark and getting de-sensitized to it. Not only are tats popular but body type implants. This is my experience. When I had PMR and was on prednisone for a year, the steroid made my diabetes out of control. Thank God the PMR is in remission and I’ve been off the steroid for two years. But it has been a struggle getting my glucose numbers down. Last year my A1C was 8.1. I have brought it down to 6.6 and still working on it. But this summer my Dr gave me this gadget called a continuous glucose monitor. It’s a plastic tab that sticks to your skin and has a little metal wire that sticks in your body. You wear it for 15 days then take it off and install a new one. It works through an app on my iPhone and tracks the glucose in my system. So if I eat something too high in carbs it will show my glucose spiking. If I’m having a low sugar an alarm will go off. It works through Bluetooth and WiFi. It is amazing and is helping me to get my diabetes under control. I am not high enough for insulin, just a pill. But for those on insulin the cgm can communicate with an insulin pump and inject insulin as needed, thus eliminating finger pricks for testing. For people on insulin the cgm is paid for by ins. My Dr gave me a few samples to start with and I buy my own from Amazon, it’s $88 per month. Because it is helping me so much I’m willing to pay the price. But my whole reason for bringing this up is how I was against using anything stuck to my skin, and now I am experiencing the huge benefit. So I’m meditating on this in anticipation of how the mark of the beast could be implemented. Slowly technology is moving in. Pace makers, glucose monitors, artificial organs, teeth implants, lens implants in eyes, etc. Just looking at changes going on in the last fifty years.
