Anyone ever get a "false low" on glucose test?

I had my yearly physical and I asked them to fax the report to me... on it I saw that my glucose level was 32! I dont have diabetes, always had a normal glucose level... the dr said that it was a false low and sometimes happens w/ contamination... but now I'm freaked out!!

I've never had a false low, I'm low b/c of hypogylycemia. Which number was low, the one that test immediate, or the that tests your level over the past few weeks?

I have diabetes and if you had a 32 you would most likely be passed out!! It has to be a false low.

When I get anywhere near 60 I get the shakes and start sweating like mad, 32 would be scary.

When I responded I didn't even look at the number! haha duh! I'm hypoglycemic and my # is in the 60-75 range most of the time, if you were really down to 32 you'd know it!!!
