Her readings should be the same as anyone else's with Type 2. The 70 is not a hypo, it is just on the lower end of the scale. Anything below 70 is a hypo and should be treated with 15 carbs and tested 15 minutes later. This is the "Rule of 15".
Here are my preferred readings:
70-99 Fasting (Out of Bed)
70-120 During the Day, but I prefer to keep at an average of 100.
