Yes. High GI carbs cause an insulin spike. While this is what you want PWO, it's not what you want the rest of the time, as it can induce fat storage.

Also is it better to have certain types of carbs at different times...eg are low GI foods like oats better in the morning but are high GI carbs such as in a PWO shake better at that time?

Yes. I think you already have it straightened out in your head, mate.
Go low GI complex carbs all the time except for PWO when you want both low and high GI carbs.
