How is this possible?

I failed my one hour glucose tolerance test by 4 points when I was 28 weeks pregnant. I took another one a few days ago (I am now 33 weeks pregnant) and it was 154. My doctor wants me to take a three hour test. Here is what does not make sense....I hardly eat any sugar in my normal diet anyway. I was in my normal weight range when I got pregnant and I have only gained 16 pounds during this pregnancy. This is my third child and I had no problems with the other pregnancies. I never drink any soda or juice, just water. I don't eat pizza, fast food, ice cream or anything like that ever! I'm a health food nut. I have no family history of diabetes. I am 28 years old. I walk 30 minutes each day and swim for one or two hours a few days a week. How is it possible that I could have GD if I alreay follow the diet and excersise plan that they would "prescribe" to me anyway? AND I have had a nurtitionist of the past 5 years who keeps track of my dietary needs. Could it be possible that I failed the test because I was not use to that much sugar all at one time? None of this makes any sense to me at all and the nurse could not answer my questions. She just stared at me.
