They will not prevent an insulin spike. However, the spike will not be as great because fruits also contain fiber. Fiber helps slow the digestion of carbs and thus it's entry into the bloodstream

BS, your body only secretes the amount of insulin required for sugars, i.e., carbs. There are complex and simple carbs. A simple carb would be such as dextrose and oatmeal would be a more complex. Your pancreas secrets no more, no less insulin than what is needed to store the energy in your cells.

Simple explanation. Sure if you eat four Milky Ways after a workout, you'll get a spike in insulin, but only due to the need for a a quick insulin dose in the blood stream to handle the simple sugar overload. Matters not if it is Milky Way or an apple...think of it as insulin on demand.
