Yes it is true low blood sugar could do that to you.
But my first thought when I saw just the "I've been feeling light headed" part was maybe it is due to allergies or sinuses. When those get clogged you tend to get light headed.
I myself have been feeling very light headed lately and I know it's due to the weather and my allergies & sinuses. To help with this I keep them flushed out using salt water. I use "Simply Saline" a few times a day.
But if your diet has changed this could be the reason. It make take awhile for your body to adjust.
You should see your doctor and possibly a nutritionist. You need a complete blood work up to determine how you should be supplementing your diet. Chances are you are anemic, common with vegetarians, until they work it all out. And yes, you may have a glucose issue. See your doctor.
Check your blood sugar.
It could be blood sugar, or anemia. You may also not be getting enough calories since switching to vegetarianism?
I think you should see the doctor and figure out exactly what the problem is, and also maybe see a nutritionist or something after that to help you figure out exactly what to eat. Maybe look up vegetarianism, vegetarian diet, etc online and look at their suggestions for what to eat also. There are some good sites, but my computers kind of slow/broken today so I can't link for you :(
