Default Low Carb "throw off" Glucose Testing?

I've been doing induction level low carb for a few months now. My endo wants me to do a glucose test and insulin test to see if I'm still insulin resistant. I know I am as I have to stay at induction level to maintain weight, headaches, hypoglycemic symptoms etc. However, now that I'm following very low carb, my symptoms have gone away. I'd like to be on metformin to assist me with my insulin resistance, but I fear that my current extreme (staying at 10 grams or less) will make it appear that I don't have any issues. I will always be low carb, but I'd like to be at a more manageable level WOE, not Eggs and Meat for the rest of my life.

Will eating very low carb cause me to "pass" the glucose test when I really do need the help. (I was making 3 times too much insulin in the past, and have managed that with low carbing very well, but I don't want my good habits to keep me from getting the help I need)
