Multiple factors: I'm assuming you are not diabetic- if you are please see your doc for med adjustment. You should also document a low blood sugar using glucometer. I usually recommend light snacks inbetween meals to avoid hypoglycemia.

Lately I've been getting light-headed when I stand up. I'm wondering if it can be hypoglycemia since I've recently reduced my calorie intake, yet I don't feel tired or hungry. Could this be something else?
