Your A1C's just fine, it's not at the 'top-end' of anything. It's normal. Your BG result 45 minutes after drinking a regular soft drink is perfectly normal too. You're fine. You almost certainly don't have diabetes and you almost certainly don't have pre-diabetes either.

It sounds more like you're expressing some vague concern about the healthiness of your lifestyle. So exercise a little more. Don't drink regular soft drinks. Have a look at your calorie intake per day. Those are the things you should be worrying about, irregardless of diabetes.

I think you're right - there is a tendency here for us to assume that any number that isn't 100% perfect is a sign of diabetes. We're just more aware of it, that's all. But that's why the mantra here is 'if you think you have diabetes, go ask a doctor, not us'.
