Bipbimbap overload

Trying to stay down today... not very successful.

I woke up fine and we had Tom yum soup for lunch which my wife made rice noodles for. There's something about high carb noodles when we cook them... They release a lot of gluten and carbs in the water during the boil so sometimes the count isn't completely accurate. I really only have this problem with Asian noodles and not American packaged noodles. I crashed a bit and ate chocolate and an apple and tried to patiently wait it out. I snacked on nuts while I waited to feel better.

By the late afternoon at the coffee shop, the BG only got up to ~200, which I was happy with (I felt like it was much higher). But it kept going up. I had corrected and still 3hrs later it was basically the same. Then we ate Bipbimbap and bean soup and it skyrocketed again.

I don't know what's going on, but sometimes this happens to me on a day to day basis. Like today was terrible and kinda unexpected. I feel a bit bloated, and my lips and tongue really feel like I have very very high BG (like I feel at 500mg/dL). I'm also feeling really tired. But tomorrow I could be fine and even go a bit on the low side. This is the kind of variation where sometimes I just don't even bother to try and figure it out. I'm hoping this bog will help to get at this kind of problem.
