Glucose Test

I failed my first glucose test.
The lab tested me before the 60 minutes was up, but I didn't say anything because I figured I would pass like I did with my first pregnancy.
Well now I am back for my second glucose test, and it's the 3 hr test, I was told by my doctor that I needed to be tested on the hr every hr for 3 hrs.
Well I finished the drink, and once again, they tested me 5 minutes early.
I said I still had 5 minutes before it had been a hr, and they said I can go 5 minutes before or 5 minutes after...
Can 5 minutes really alter my results?
I would feel better if they let me wait the full hour.
I don't know why my doctor was so adamant on pointing out I need blood drawn exactly 60 minutes after finishing the drink, if it didn't matter if I go sooner or later...
