Marty,

I'm stumped! I think the only way you can have gestational diabetes (GDM) is if you have an abnormal 3hr GTT. Even if you were diabetic in a prior pregnancy, I would think your doctor would want you to have an abnormal test this time around in order to call your condition GDM. In light of that I'm not sure what values he/she is looking for to cal normal. Better just ask your own doctor for clarification.
