Question How long does it take for blood sugar levels to lower?

I’m in my 2nd week of induction phase. Not sure whether I am Pre-Diabetic or Diabetic – I used to be able to maintain good blood sugar levels with exercise and watching my diet. In the past year though my blood sugar levels have worsen and my doctor is thinking about giving me meds to lower the levels. Since I don’t want to take meds, I decided to try the Atkins Diet. I started reading the book the “Atkins Diabetes Revolution” and decided to give it a try.

I started to work out regularly again, doing 30 – 45 minutes on the cross-trainer (elliptical trainer), doing abs crunches or upper body weight training. This also should have an effect on my body’s blood sugar management.

My question is: how long does it take or did it take for you to see results, changes to your blood sugar levels – especially the ones you take first thing in the morning after 8 – 12 hrs of fasting? Mine are totally fluctuating at the moment and it’s pretty frustrating and also kinda worrying.
