Wordpress Database Output - Remove SQL Injection Escapes

I'm having a problem using $wbdb. When I insert or update data using $wpdb->insert or $wpdb->update, the SQL injection protection actually inserts the \' into the database, and when outputting that information it has the SQL escape with it. (ie: My Value\'s Escaped).

I know there's gotta be a way to escape this using a wordpress function, but I haven't been able to find it searching google and the wordpress codex. ...So what's that function, or what am I doing wrong (seems like the '\' shouldn't really get to the database in the first place) Thanks!
