Earlier sonograms are usually the most reliable.

Can't comment on this at all. No frame of reference.

This may be renal glycosuria , a condition whereby the kidneys do not reabsorb the sugar cleared by them and instead of being recirculated into the bloodstream, it ends up in the urine. This does NOT falsely lower the blood sugar to cause a 3 hour GTT to be normal if it weren't going to be normal.
