that would explain your high glucose readings at that time.

Yep. Whole wheat pasta is better and tastes really good. White bread is poison as are most white foods. Rice, white flour, sugar, white potatoes... all carbs turning to sugar.
If you eat white potatoes with fat (butter, sour cream) it counteracts the carb/sugar effect and won’t raise your sugar. I forget which diet doctor taught me that.
Sweet potatoes have less starch but still raise your sugar.
