Diabetes: I prefer this term to diabetic. Yes you do have diabetes and it is not yet fully controlled. I would ask your doctor to refer you to a diabetes educator and, if you have type 2 diabetes, work hard to get rid of diabetes.

Yes: A Hba1c above 6.5% is consistent with diabetes. Although your fasting glucose is normal, you likely have high sugars later in the day after eating. You should obtain a glucose monitor and start checking your sugar at different times of the day to see when it is running high.
