There is no medical problem in having a low level of triglyceride in your blood. Normal: Less than 150 mg /dL.
Dyslipidemia is elevation of plasma cholesterol and/or TGs or a low HDL level that contributes to the development of atherosclerosis. Causes may be primary (genetic) or secondary. Diagnosis is by measuring plasma levels of total cholesterol, TGs, and individual lipoproteins. Treatment is dietary changes, exercise, and lipid-lowering drugs.
Since you have got diabetes, you should reduce fat and oils in your diet.
Please see the web pages for more details on Triglycerides.

Alcohol and sugar sweetened foods increase triglycerides. If you don't drink alcohol, then perhaps you eat sweets other than carbonated beverages.
When you eat, your body uses the calories it needs for quick energy. Any extra calories are turned into triglycerides and stored in fat cells to be used later. The excess calories are stored as fat regardless of what kind of food you eat—fat, carbohydrate, or protein. If you regularly eat more calories than you burn, you may have high triglycerides.
Certain medicines may also increase triglycerides. These include tamoxifen, steroids, beta-blockers, some diuretics, estrogen, and birth control pills.
