patient died apparently from hypoglycemic coma, grand mal seizure, and death (the verbiage doesn't say if the same patient experienced all of these events, and the table (#69) doesn't, either; I'm making that assumption). The cause was unknown, but considered treatment related.

There's a footnote to that table:

The SAEs of grand mal convulsion, hypoglycemic coma, and death due to unknown cause occurred in three separate
individuals.


So not clear if the death was really treatment-related or not.
The tighter your glucose control the more chance of hypoglycemia - it's always a tradeoff. These three events occured at a rate of .1 per 1,000 treatment-months.
