I found all the sheets easy to read, very clear and concise. I love the colours and large buttons for each area of information.Summary:
If I was diagnosed with diabetes tomorrow I'd be glad to have these notes to help me.

PS just curious is there a reason you marked a 0 on strategy or did you just leave that field blank?

Minor Problem on metformin01.jpg 1 icon seems counter-intuitive. Even though lowering is good here, the red with the down arrow indicates to me a disadvantage Minor Problem on metformin02.jpg 1 Is a legend rally needed here? Doesn't seem to add any new information Minor Problem on insulin01.jpg 1 again, legend isn't needed.... 2 is cloudy/clear distinction needed? Seems like extraneous information to me Positive Feature on metformin01.jpg 1 Good icon here 2 good icon here Positive Feature on metformin02.jpg 1 good icons Summary:
The font, titles, colors are very clear and readable. The information comes across quickly, even if you scan it fast.
The 3rd screenshot is a bit busy. Is all that information needed? As I look at it more, it is still a great screen, just not as quick to digest as the others.
I would suggest getting rid of the legends. They don't provide any further information since almost everything is titled anyway,
Note - the note icons on this website don't seem to be matching up with what I picked, so go with what I said in the note.
Minor Problem colour selection
The three colours selected in example 02 are very easy to look at. The legend could be cropped down to refer only to the degree of coverage afforded by Ontario Drug Benefit Program. The icons for 'disadvantages' and 'frequency' seem more self-explanatory, any further degree of reference to the meaning of the icons than that afforded by the headings themselves seems redundant. The legend might only need to refer to the Ontario Drug Benefit Program Coverage designator, a very decent confirmatory marker.grid
The grid again in example 03, I prefer images such as this when conveying concepts related to changing rates of accumulation or consumption, it kind of gracefully captures abstract pharma concepts related to the body's metabolism and communicates the differences between different substances with the impassiveness of an outboard marine engine manufacturer's brochure. This is the kind of content for which superfluous semiotics detract from the potency of a grid-based declarative unity. If an info graphic can be stripped to a few font size increments, icons, lines and dots and improve its communicative power then the graphic works for me. I can't speak to the legend this time, there's actually more going on and so having the surplus information redundancy seems like a zero-sum utility, it takes up a diminuitive portion of the image while conveying information that can mostly be located elsewhere on the page. Sort of like having a Cadillac in the driveway, and a 'back-up' Cadillac parked in the garage.New Idea examples 04 and 05
These are lovely. I especially prefer example 05, the colour of the copy is a selection quite far off from black but it is very easy to look at as colour selection for a screen font. It could be possible to tinge the white ground towards grey by a very minor amount, so that it's not quite so intense to look at on a screen. You will discover through further testing whether these are the optimal size fonts for each of the examples. I have very decent vision so the copy is generally readable, this may not be the case for some significant proportion of users who live with some degree of vision impairment.Other grid
There appears to be an underlying grid, this makes example 01 very easy to look at. Well ordered and spacious copy is graced by the declarative phrasing of the content, I prefer this.Summary:

Thank you for your input! Particularly on the icons as we were interested to see if these were useful in drawing people in to the content. Also, I hope you stay healthy ;)
