Hearing Voices: Just came across this TED video and though it interesting for discussion.

4. Yes, yes. I am very familiar with this as my spouse suffered from low blood sugar for years until

he finally went over into full blown diabetes. It seemed that low blood sugar was his precursor to diabetes and his low blood sugar was the signal that his pancreas was putting out too much insulin until it zapped out and could not produce enough insulin. He had many hallucinations and paranoia episodes.

I must add: everything he heard from the voices actually happened within minutes of what he heard. I can't explain it but it happened. It also happened for a friend of his who was dying from brain cancer. He would describe an event ( not anything spectacular but ordinary) and it would happen within an hour. Example: he pronounced a special delivery mail item and asked that my spouse stay to receive it when it arrived. The package was delivered with the hour but it was a package that had not been ordered by the friend's spouse and anyone else in the household. It belonged to the next door neighbor.

As for my spouse he would say something was going to happen and it actually did within minutes...like a visit or phone call from someone unexpected.
