Default Diabetic Exercise Recommendations?

I am a Diabetes Health Educator and I am looking for information / recommendations relating to exercise and diabetes. I lead 2 support groups in my local area and want to do an activity challenge with them. Most of the people in the groups are ages 50 and above, so I need information on activities suitable for senior citizens as well.
Thanks for your help!

sustained walking (20 min or more) at a comfortable pace for the person, at least 4 to 5 days a week. Strength training is another option-3 days/week

I think water aerobics would be good.
