I don’t think your average BS will match up with your A1C as they measure different things. My average BG on my meter is always out of goose because if I get a very high or low reading I’ll check it again, skewing the averages! Anyway, this page apparently converts average BS to A1C: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/hba1c-to-blood-sugar-level-converter.html. According to it your average BG of 7.6 equals an A1c of 6.7.

Good luck and report back!
