Insulin index, one for the scientists?

I came accross this article and was somewhat surprised to find the insulin index of beef and fish to be so high compared with their glycemic indexes. Given that I don't want to burn out any more of those insulin producing cells of mine, should I be avoiding these foods?
 
If it's on David Mendosa's website, check with him. He'll answer emails. He has himself gone over to diet only control
 
PS
I found this paragraph,

At the present time, we don't know how to interpret this type of response (low glycemia, high insulinemia) for long-term health. It may be a good outcome because the rise in insulin has contributed to the low level of glycemia. On the other hand, it may be not-so-good, because the increased demand for insulin contributes to beta-cell "exhaustion" and the development of type 2 diabetes. Until studies are carried out to answer these types of questions, the glycemic index remains a proven tool for predicting the effects of food on health.
