not useful unless perhaps you're an endurance athlete, and even then, only useful intra- and not post- workout
Jay Cutler likely takes a dose of Humalog, fast acting insulin, with his post workout protein and then consumes some simple sugars so his blood sugar doesn't tank

On an associated subject I've had good results with having some carbohydrates with me during a workout. Fuel made for endurance athletes works well, something using maltodextrin for the carb source. Also the electrolytes are a good thing since you're sweating and losing some of them. All you need is 200kcal per hour to keep muscles fuelled for the anaerobic activity that is lifting.
