If fasting blood sugar is above 130 its have diabetes.
If fasting is always normal but if it rises over 130 2hrs. after your meal. Then you have what's called (I don't know the quite exact term) "hidden" diabetes. It's like you'r body doesn't respond to insulin enough to dynamically cover the "peak" state of the blood sugar rise after a meal...
Especially for type 2 diabetes they test after loading sugar to see if everythings "really" fine at "peak" times...

SO

70-110 is the range for fasting
110-130 is the range after a meal

I have heard a lot that even in a healthy person blood sugar could go up to 160 even 180 sometimes but these are rare situations.

A1C range is 4.6 - 6.2 You've gotto be in between..

However for a diabetic person the successfull considered range
could be more than 6.2 in the upper end... like 7.0 could be considered a successfull control.

Opinions:
According to your A1C leves it's either because you have been aware of your diabetes very early (which is good news) OR your BS only rises in "certain" conditions where it doesn't really reflect on your overall (A1C's. ) Which still mean that u join the party.

If there is anything else, that means that I'm not a doctor!
