All this glucose testing can drive you mad.

There are things to take into account. Surely the other lab could be calibrated slightly differently. Lab testing is never 100% accurate.

When you eat less glucose the liver makes more. And the liver is not a very accurate organ for this, and tends to make more than you need. The old saying of "you need to eat to lower glucose or lose weight" is true.

Those A1C numbers are not the end all ...anyway. They are only a marker. And tend to increase with age too. All of them, the charts and everything were made up as best guesses. With time we may see some changes there too.
