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.
Unless you are a doctor, who has examined this person, you should never make a statement like that. Anyone with the slightest suspicion that they may have diabetes, or are at a high risk of becoming diabetic, should get tested immediately and frequently.

I would assume people with it of course want me to think I may have it too cause you have it.
I don't think this is the case at all. Many of us didn't find out we had diabetes until we experienced symptoms. By this point a person has probably been diabetic for years without knowing it and thus doing damage to the eyes, kidneys, and other organs. Knowing this, we are quick to recommend that anyone who believes that they are at risk make it a point to get tested A.S.A.P. Early detection and treatment is the key to avoiding or delaying complications.
