My (rubbish) T2 Diagnosis

Did you double check the 2.0mmols yesterday as that seems extremely unlikely and if you were that low you would feel really rough, like you are about to die rough. I am quite used to hypos because I average about 1 a day but if I was down to 2mmols I would be close to losing consciousness and my heart would be trying to hammer it's way out of my chest and I would be sweating profusely and I would not be able to think straight and feel like I was dying. At 3.5mmols I can feel it but it isn't desperately debilitating and I can eat a jelly baby or 2 and continue what I was doing, but down to 2mmols and you would absolutely know about it and be terrified of it ever happening again, so I suspect your meter is duff or it was a rogue test strip or you didn't get enough blood on the test strip. You should always get another test strip and recheck straight away if you get a reading which doesn't seem correct and I am pretty certain that that 2.0mmols was not correct from what you describe.
Which meter are you using?
 
2.5 hours after dinner, and I had a cup of tea with sugar, yorkie bar and 3 Opal fruits. 3.9mmol/l. Something wrong with this reader, GlucoRx Q. This is supposed to be the most common device used by the NHS, so they claim.

Edit: Passed calibration test fine. Que?

Edit, figured it out. Fine. Impact of interstitial fluid. Hmm.
