Not too high, not too low my son

Recalls the recommendation imparted by Icarus’ father Daedalus, as he warns him not to fly too high nor too low, so the sun’s heat would not melt the wax which held his wings in place, nor would the sea’s breeze clog them. This advice also captures the daily challenge which Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) warriors face in order to control their blood sugar levels. The device featured in this work is connected to our warrior and is a real-life monitor measuring his levels.  Not too high, not too low. From a story about ambition, Icarus has become a story about the bleak reality.
