The A1C does go up with age. Yours seems quite good. Mine is 6.2, and has stayed there for a while.
The biggest problem is large portions per meal. This will spike sugar...called the postprandial spike, and the newer goals for Type II are to keep this down. One way is measuring everything, but another is to eat 5 small meals, spread out during the day, instead of 3 big ones.
