Diabetologist 's  Response
Dear sir /madam i can understand your concerns
in my opinion the symptoms you mentions resembles closely a condition called hypoglycemia.
i suggest you to check the level of blood sugar during light headedness.
this a common symptom experienced by patients during their early days of treatment especially if they delay or skip a meal.
it could have been a great to analyse you better if treatment details are given.
its worth ruling out the hypoglycemia since is most common.
regards
