Could I have GD?

I got my 3 hour glucose test results online, but they only gave me the numbers - no simple answer of whether or not I have GD. The office is closed and each time I try to call in to the nurse (during office hours) I get sent to voicemail. I don't want to wait till I go in on the 20th to know for sure. Any thoughts on these numbers? I spiked for the one hour and was below the cut offs for the rest.

Fasting 83 (cut off 95)
1 hour 208 (cut off 180)
2 hour 134 (cut off 155)
3 hour 84 (cut off 140)

Is that too big of a spike and dip to rule GD out or do you think I'm probably okay because I was over on only one?

(Regardless of what is said here I intend to continue to try and make contact with my doctor. I understand that she will be the one with the official diagnosis. Just curious what everyone's thoughts are on this.)

Thanks in advance!!!

    You can have one failed reading and they are still considered to be "normal" results.  If you fail 2 or more, then you are considered GD.

    I had GD with my first pregnancy so had to take my test early (16w) for this pregnancy.  I also failed the 1hr draw, but passed the rest.  I will have to repeat the test at 28 weeks, but for now am not considered to have GD.
