When a user inserts, take them to another page where you tell them that you are inserting the data. You could then redirect them to the original page. This way, when they press refresh, it will show the page with the form fields not filled in.

Also, disable caching on that page so that navigating to it with the browser back button greets them with a 'page expired' message or a fresh copy of the page.
