A1c How do hypo's bring them down?

We all know that high blood sugars are reflected in the A1c... that high bg results in sugar being 'stuck to the cells' after a certain period and stay there for the life of the cell..

Also that one can have a good looking A1c, even if running high numbers, if one also has a lot of hypos... my question is why? does being hypo somehow remove the sugar from some of the blood cells?

Anyone know how that works?
