Yes, it is possible.
It means that your body is storing glucose in the blood stream and you are probably asymtomatic.However, since you fall under prediabetes you are advised to take your medicines on time and perform regular exercises to keep your blood glucose levels under control.
It is possible to have high A1C levels without diabetes in rare cases. Iron, folate etc can also increase HBA1C levels.
The best time would be in the morning or evening.
No, A1C blood test can be given even without fasting.
