Question Diabetes? weird situation

I went to the doctor today to show my blood test results. He checked me out for diabetes and I had to do one of those tests where after they draw blood out, you're given a sugary drink and then wait an hour before they draw blood again.

Now: thing is. My sugar levels show very high while fasting but then it shows "normal" one hour after the sugary drink.

Chances are there was a mistake at the lab, unless there is a metabolic disorder. I have to be re-tested but I'm a bit scared it could be right, or it could be something worse. Has anyone ever experienced anything like it?

On a side note in line with the law of attraction I've been joking that my doctor was a bit of a Dr. House because he doesn't wear a Lab coat (only sweatshirts and jeans), he drives a motorbike (jacket and helmet hanging in the background), doesn't say a lot (even though I wouldn't say he's rude like Dr. House) and blurted out "you have diabetes" before he realised there was an inconsistency. And it looks that like in good Dr. House fashion he got a medical mystery to solve...
