I use MyFitnessPal.com It has a very complete database of foods, you can choose which nutrients to track and, within limits, how many pounds you want to lose a week. (I can't tell it I want to lose 2 lbs a week, because the powers that be have determined that caloric intake is not adequate to get the proper nutrients.)
If you have been following the standard diabetic diet, you may want to consider dramatically cutting carbs. The standard diabetic diet generally keeps blood sugar much higher than is safe to protect your organs, including your pancreas - so insulin resistance often becomes impaired production of insulin.
I'm eating around 50 net carbs/day, the amount the standard diabetic diet tells you to eat in a meal. I've lost 11 lbs in 4 weeks, but within 3 days my blood sugar had stabilized in the prediabetes range for fasting, and the normal range the rest of the time - aside from 3 foods I was testing which spiked it above 140. For five days in a row now, my fasting blood sugar has been below 100 (normal range).
