Glucose test yesterday... a little worried

Hey Everyone! I am now 28 weeks pregnant and I had my 1 hour glucose test yesterday. Two appointments prior to this one, I was told my my doctor that there were sugar protiens in my urine. He said it was a 2. Not sure what that means, but he was nto worried at the time because I had a Coke and a bowl of cereal prior to my appointment. But it was an hour before and my friends had eaten worse before their appointments and never had sugar show up in their urine. Anyways, no sugar in urine at the next appointment. Well yesterday, I had my appointment at 9:15. I had two peices of toast with butter at like 6:45 when I woke up along with some water. I wasnt going to eat anything else, even though the doctor told me I DID NOT HAVE TO FAST, because I did not want to have any chances of taking the 3 hour glucose test. Well I started feeling sick on the way to the doctor so I ate one of those little packs of crackers that come with the little red wand to spread the cheese on with! ( I LOVE THESE! ) This was about an 45 min prior to my appointment. Sooo the first thing that they do when I get there is of course have me pee in a cup. When I see the doctor, he said there was sugar in my urine AGAIN! Which concerned him more this time since I had not indulged by any means. He also described it as a 2 this time. So now I am waiting on my results and I am a little worried that there is a possibilty that I will have Gestational Diabetes. I really hope they they call me before the weekend and let me know something. Anyone have sugar in their urine and NOT have it? Any other thoughts would be nice too!!
P.S. If you get the lemonlime flavored drink for the glucose test, it really isnt that bad! The only part that ***** if having to drink it all in 3 minutes.

doon't worry if you fail the one hour.  A LOT of people do and don't have GD.  I have failed the 1 hour with 4 of my 6 pregnancies but every one of my 3 hours came back fine.  Just wait and see what the results are.  I had sugar in my urine in one of my pregnancies but it didn't amount to anything.
