I need to get advice on a choice of weight loss plans….Can you help?

I am diagnosed “borderline diabetic” by my doctor. ….am probably even more across the “border” now since I have gained additional weight since diagnosed with borderline diabetes a while ago….and high blood pressure as well..due to being probably 95 lbs. overweight.
I feel weak when I try to diet…low fat…low carbs normal protein……grumpy…and hateful.
When I try to go on Atkins…that was HORRIBLE for causing water retention…more than my usual…from all the sodium involved in those protein overloads…….and bad for high blood pressure.It is imperative that I get on a eating style that will help me lose gradually, healthily, and PERMANENTLY……But, what is a good diet plan for my “almost” -(if not “for sure”) diabetes? I’m miserable…No energy….hurting legs and feet…I’m a hairstylist of 33 years old that stands on my feet all day…they swell due to that, being overweight, and hurt from the water in my ankles….much pain…..I feel 80 years old…..HELP…????

A friend and I are in disagreement. He says a baked potato is 1 carb choice. I say it is more, I even saw 1 example that a 1/2 large baked potato is 2 carb choices. What is the correct answer. His source is a diabetes education class 5 years ago and mine is from 1 web site.
