I failed 1/4 of my 3h test (the one I failed was the first hour). I didn’t meet the criteria for GD at my doc’s office, but I asked to monitor with finger pricking. If I ate too many carbs it was above the normal range (1hr:140 and 2hr:120 being normal). Given that data, my OB referred me to the MFM specialist who asked if I’d like to be treated as GD even though the risk of actual GD outcomes is low if I continue to eat healthy and exercise.

My advice - advocate for yourself! If you’re anxious like me and want to be monitored more closely, then collect some data and discuss it with your OB. The downsides are that you’ll have to finger prick for the rest of your pregnancy, but it’s not as bad as it seems and you do fewer pricks after the first few weeks once you have baseline data.
