Just because you failed the one hour doesn't always mean you actually have gestational diabetes. I failed the one hour both pregnancies, but passed the three hour. The first time, I made the mistake of eating breakfast, so this time, I made sure I didn't eat before the one hour and still failed it. I had a cold at the time and had been drinking a lot of orange juice the day before. The nurse that did my 3 hour test said that actually could have caused my sugar to be up for the one hour.
