Older persons with diabetes have a harder time maintaining blood pressure when standing up. When blood pressure drops when standing up, fainting may occur. This study will see how regular exercise can improve the ability of the body to keep blood pressure up when standing. We want to see how this improvement varies with a home-based walking program.

Official Title: | The Use of a Home-Based Walking Program to Treat Orthostatic Hypotension in Older Adults With Type 2 Diabetes |

Participants act as their own control. Participants go through a control phase where baseline measures are obtained and the intervention is not present, then move to an intervention phase where they will be exercising |
Behavioral: Home-based walking program (Aerobic Exercise)
After the completion of the control phase of the study, participants will be given pedometers and log books, then contacted on a regular basis to help insure compliance with the goal of walking 10000 steps per day.

Detailed Summary
HYPOTHESES: a) A home-based walking program will improve the compensatory cardiovascular responses that prevent syncope in older adults with Type 2 diabetes. A moderate, regular exercise program will:
improve cerebral autoregulation during upright tilt. b) There will be relationship between the improvement in compensatory cardiovascular responses and regular exercise.
c) Design of more practicable training prescriptions than that used in a research setting.
