And still be within safe levels?

I just tested myself 2 hours after lunch and was 12, I only had quite a light lunch, soup and a few large snack a jacks. I walked up the 14 flights of stairs to my office, then tested myself 25 minutes later and it had dropped to 6.8. I felt a bit light headed, but this is not unusual after i had climbed 14 flights of stairs (currently getting fitter)

My question is, can you make your levels drop too quick and still be in safe levels? Will it make you feel hypo symptoms, or would this be the effect of the exercise anyway?
 
I feel this way whenever I drop from a high number even to a lower number above 4mmol/l. Most definately when exercising and it;s a really annoying false red flag.
