A1C of six is borderline diabetic. I have 6.2..stable for a year.
This link has a chart:

An A1C in an older person tends to be higher than in a younger.
Yours, I would follow a high protein diet, with limited, low glycemic carbs... to keep it at what it is, so it does not go up.
You can request a fasting INSULIN level... If this is elevated, consider yourself Type II almost or there. One diet very good for controlling this is the Zone diet. It is pretty easy to follow.
