Time of the day and type of sugar taken are the likely explanations. If your doctor advised a 3 hour follow-up test, it would be prudent to follow that advice. Wish you good health and a healthy baby!

Suspect glucose load was not the same. Check the app Cronometer and see what you’d glucose load was by entering foods. As I recall the standard load is 250 gms but you should check what load they gave you. Then discuss wit your team.
