Should I be worried?

I do not have diabetes
I have recently done a blood glucose test and its 72mg/dl (4 mmol/l). Should I be worried? Should I take precautions and contact with a specialist? I've decided to write this post to find out if I have to take any further steps.

I'm 21, I exercise regularly and eat healthy (which is why I'm a bit surprised by such low level of glucose).

Oh, and I have one more very important question to you. I plan to go on a diet - is dieting forbidden in my case?

Is there any additional advice you would give me?

Thank you in advance for your answers and sorry for any grammatical or spelling mistakes - English isn't my first language.

For most people 4 mmol/l is perfectly normal. It is what I used to have before I developed diabetes and sometimes much lower.
