My pet theory on the whole insulin response aspect not affecting some people as strongly or at all is that there's two major system variables involved: natural blood glucose levels and if they've got a sensitive insulin trigger.
If either of those are present: high natural blood glucose or insensitive insulin trigger, then the insulin response is weakened. If both are, then it's nearly non-existent.
Natural blood glucose levels are mainly dictated by diet. Sensitivity to it is mainly dictated by genetics.
I wouldn't suggest a high sugar diet just to weaken the insulin response though... That insulin response is an important part of your body telling you you've gone and had too damn much of something in most cases. (sugar) It's only in very strange unusual cases that certain herbs don't have much or any sugars but cause a much larger insulin response than they ought to be able to.
