Hi,
You a1c is at the top of totally normal.  Your FBS is a bit higher than ideal.  At this point it is really hard to say if you are at risk or not.  However, I would recommend that you consider yourself at risk and adopt lifestyle that will prevent further development, if ever.  The most important thing is a lower carb diet.  This doesn't just mean no sweets, but also means limiting all grains and fruits and starchy vegetables.  Instead you eat protein, plenty of unprocessed fats, and unlimited non-starchy veges.  Keep up the exercise.  Would recommend you repeat the a1c in 6 months (along with fasting glucose) to keep track of things.

Hi, the A1c and the FBS test different things.   A1c tests  your average blood sugar over the past 3 months.  An a1c of 5 gives you an average blood sugar of about 100.  I think A1c is veyr important for monitoring trend over time.  Fasting blood glucose is a bit useful in that fasting glucose can change over time and indicate a problem.  But in many people the fasting blood glucose might be one of the last numbers to be abnormal.  On the other hand fasting blood sugar can also be affected by your previous day's meal and activity levels.
