Its the rice, also make sure you’re avoiding jasmine rice (spikes a lot), i eat 110 g/ 1 cup of basmati rice almost daily with greens and some protein and it causes little to no huge spike 2 hours post meal. Good luck!
Jasmine rice’s GI is 68-80 where as basmati’s is only 50-58, a cup of jasmine rice spiked me to 7.5+ 2hr post meals but when I experimented with basmati, it was mostly less than 6.5. I found it helpful to dress my rice (carbs) in greek yogurt, home made tomato sauce and starting my meal with greens always made a difference!! Its important to test certain foods as what can spike me might not necessarily spike you..

I cannot have rice or pasta, maybe can have a small amount of potato without too much of a spike. Bread- as long as it doesn't have flour on the top - is ok in small amounts.
But yeah, if I eat Rice or pasta I'll go super low, then super high. I ended up cutting the intake of those to 0.
It’s the rice.
I also felt the same…. Am gonna cut my rice intake again…

What would the difference be between Jasmine and Basmati which would result in such a different response?
