i think it's the other way, insulin triggers glucose uptake from teh
blood into the muscles/liver/etc. the negative insulin response is
because you've flooded the system w/ glucose which causes a rush of
insulin which triggers faster uptake which means less free glucose/etc
for the muscles/liver/etc.
the complex carb story is that the processing into simple sugars
reduces the initial rush and the feedback loop.
