HbA1C of more than 6.5% is diagnostic of diabetes. You can do an OGTT to re confirm.
If you are a diabetic it would be advisable not to plan pregnancy until your HbA1C comes down to below 6.5%, preferably below 6%. There are few other things that need to be ensured before you conceive and a strict monitoring during pregnancy would be needed.
Next Steps
Get OGTT done and go for a full consultation
