Hi, I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes.  You don't say whether you're diabetic or not, but by your question I'm going to presume you're not.  An a1c of 6.5% is still in the normal range for a non-diabetic, albeit in the high side of nomal.  If you are diabetic, you should be proud of that low a1c.  

If you're trying to determine if you have diabetes, the a1c is not the test you should be taking.  You should be testing your blood glucose levels instead.  The a1c is basically an average over 3 months, and isn't a good judge of diabetes diagnosis.  If this is your real question, please contact your doctor to get a fasting blood glucose test done.  Good luck.
