I know what you mean. Most certainly is real, but very difficult to control it in terms of how a lot of people see it. What I mean is this...
The common conception of insulin spiking is that we eat a lot of HGI carbs postworkout to spike our bodies natural insulin production and then that will cause us to shuttle more of the nutrients we consume to where they are needed and restore glycogen depletions. Most people do it wrong. You'd be bettwr suited eating 100g of carbs in the form or cream of wheat or white rice pwo and then havin a Gatorade intra and them your pwo "shuttle" meal.

I personally train upper body in the AM (fasted) followed by Porridge (70g) mixed Greek Yoghurt (100g) and Whey Isolate (15-20g) and train lower body at 6PM with another Porridge etc 60-90 minutes before, post workout I have a Jacket Potato immediately after followed by sweet potato, chicken etc about 45 minutes later - whether this is optimal in terms of insulin spikes I will let others pass their comments.
These is the only times I eat carbs all other meals during the day (5 more meals in total) are protein and fat based with carbs as incidentals.
