Default Hemoglobin A1C?

I'm trying to make sense of my glucose tolerance test:

Hemoglobin A1C : 6.0 H
Time 1:131 mg/dl
Time 2: 107 mg/dl
Time 3: 83 mg/dl

All I know is that they said I was OK. I'm not sure what the Time x values should be, but what I really wonder about is the Hemoglobin A1C--the reference range says <6.0%, so doesn't that mean it's high?

I just keep coming back to Occam's Razor: diabetes is the most common cause of PN (isn't it?), diabetes runs in my family, I'm 54, and about 30 lbs overweight. Seems to me that diabetes is the simplest, therefore the most likely explanation.

While I don't understand this test, I recall that my glucose is usually right on the edge of the edge, i.e. not in the range they call prediabetes but only under by one or two points. One time, it was solidly in the range.

Do you suppose that I am close enough that prediabetes could be the culprit, and what would you do if you were me?
