Unusually low.. do you usually get readings like that after eating?
Maybe clean your fingers and test again in case it was a rogue reading.. what kind of meter do you have?
Sorry for the stream of questions but as much info as poss could be helpful..

No worries.. if you get a very unexpected or out of range reading it's usually best to test again I get some very odd one's on occasion.
