The simplest tests are
1. Blood glucose
2. Fructosamine.
The Fructosamine test can show the average blood sugar over the last two weeks, which will definitively show Diabetes.
The blood glucose test, if it's anywhere near the borderline region (130-200 mg/dL or 7-11 mmol/L), will need to be repeated several times to be certain of diabetes. But a blood sugar over 300 mg/dL, 16.6 in mmol/L, is pretty much definitive for diabetes at any time.
It is however useful to know that blood sugar can be raised quite high by the stress of being at the vet's. Some cats who are very nervous at the vet can have a much higher reading there than they would at home. Hence, the blood sugar reading at the vet's may not be a good indication of how much insulin is needed.
