They will probably just make you do the 3 hour glucose test.  I didnt pass my 1 hour but i did pass my 3 hour hour.  Im sure your fine, your doctor will tell you what he wants to do next.

Same thing happened to me.  I was 6 points over the highest score you could get (146 ...out of 140 ><).  So, like star_girl said, they will probably make you go for the longer 3 hour test.  I went for it, and passed.  I only had one abnormal number and you need at least two to be diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes.

Good luck with your test!  Keep us posted!
