The A1C is sort of like an average of your last ~90 days of BG readings. Were you eating tons of sugar for the 3 months before the test? Do you have any previous tests to compare this high reading to?
Are you taking the pills? Or are the 90-130 readings just with LC eating? If you are achieving those low values without medications, it sounds like you should request a new A1C test and may not need pills or insulin. If with pills, these readings suggest you do not need insulin yet (or ever if you stay LC).
A1Cs can be unreliable in people of African, Mediterranean or southeast Asian heritage:
