In the UK you are just in the diabetic range, but the good news is that by reducing the amount of carbohydrate in your diet just a little, and doing a little more exercise then you should be able to resolve the problem quite quickly.
It will mean changing your way of life permanently if you want to avoid the problems of diabetes, but you get to eat the good things rather than the stodgy fill you up foods. That means - for instance, lunch could be steak, mushrooms and tomato with coleslaw and green salad, but not the chips. There are worse things in life.

Only just- a few dietary modifications and you soon won't be. With such a low HBA1C you should have the blood test repeated and see if you get similar numbers
Good luck-lots of helpful folk on here x
