It depends on what your BG readings were. 4 and below is hypo territory, but I start to feel squiffy around the 4.5 mark and like to be no lower than 5.
You also have to remember that these test meters can be a smuch as 10% in error around any given point so basically they are only a guide as to trends and not a true exact reading.

If you are T2 with poor control I wouldn't expect you to go hypo unless you are taking high levels of medication. if you have poor control and poor diet, I can't see how you would go hypo...

People who are touchy.......feign indignation at the slightest thing. Hypocrites, bullies and cowards.

Anybody......Diabetic or not can suffer from a hypo. It just means low blood glucose levels.

You don't say in your post what level your Bg was when you felt this way ? It would also be helpful to know what your levels are at other times of the day, especially 2 hrs after meals. It could be something not directly related to your Diabetes and Bg levels, there is not enough information in your post to give a positive answer.

Have you discussed this with your GP ?
