keep testing until you see a normal result....
try not to overdo it with quick acting carbs....
how do/did you feel at that level...?

I'd go for the test again approach. To get a low you need to have a glucose level that the system detects as below 2.2mmol/l. You posted in another topic that you're not on medication, and it's very difficult to get to this level of low without an external influence lowering your glucose levels, especially if you have no history of lows.

If you've not had food then I would assume that you are getting rogue readings.
If you have eaten, the shakes and light headed feeling is from fluctuations of your blood glucose levels that are too sudden.

It sounds like the LO was an error reading. Always worth retesting straight away if you get a weird reading you weren't expecting.
