Can Diabetes Be Detected Without Blood Test?

I m very angry with my doctor. He supposedly tested me for potassium, but then came back and said I am pre-diabetic. Was the diabetic test on the same panel that he could find this out? Then, last year, without a blood test, he said that I was FULLY DIABETIC, NOT PRE-DIABETIC. How could he make that assumption without a blood test? Any help you can give me?
