Are you diabetic on any medications? I would follow up with a doctor and perform glucose tolerance testing as well as test for insulin level, glucagon level post eating. Consider increase the carbohydrate content of your diet. Follow up with MD

I failed my 1 hour glucose test than I ate a very low carb/low sugar diet for a week & passed the three hour test. Could this be considered cheating the test? My 3 hour results were, 74 at fasting, 172 after an 1 hour, 125 at 2hours, & 105 at 3 hours?
