Marvin Isley
 If I had listened, maybe these things wouldn't have happened, musician Marvin Isley says of his medical ordeals, including the loss of both legs and a kidney transplant. His mission now: getting the word out about diabetes.
It's a sneaky disease. It's silent, Isley says. Diabetes is a very serious disease with a lot of devastating effects. Finally, I'm doing it right -- no sugar, no salt, but I could have done it right years ago.
Isley and his wife, Sheila have taken up diabetes awareness as spokespeople for the American Diabetes Association, including appearing at African American outreach programs and on an educational video.
