Gestational Diabetes Question???

I had the glucose challenge test (GCT) at 24 weeks. It came back good but someone told me they are meant to do the test at 26-28 weeks pregnant. Did I have it too early?? Could the results change between 24 and 26-28 weeks??
Thank you for any replies.

I am supposed to be having mine a bit earlier but have been told if it comes back normal he will repeat it at 28 weeks

Yes the results can change between 24 and 28 wks. GD tends to kick in more towards 28 wks and is at its worst (ie your blood sugar is hardest to control) at 32 wks. I had my GTT at 28 wks.
