This is a little. It off topic and I could be really wrong but why don't you try a low calorie diet in general for 2 weeks followed by a healthy, balanced diet inc. both your proteins and complex carbs rather than doing the Atkins diet?
I've read in a few places that restricting your diet to 600 calories a day for 2 weeks has shown a reversal in type 2 diabetes. If you believe you're pre-diabetic, perhaps this may help? If it works for full blown diabetics, could it also work for a pre-diabetic?
There are tonnes of pages in Google on this but the jist is that this study was done at the Uni of Newxastle and it's funnily enough called the 'Newcastle diet'. Here's a link with more info: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diet/newcastle-study-600-calorie-d...
