Sugar is often added to sauces in chinese resturants and just as often the sauce is thickened with corn starch which has the same diabetic result as sugar. Not to forget that the rice also has the same effect. If one looks at the garlic sauce container it is doubtful it has added sugar. Most likely the most carbohydrates you had in that meal were from the rice which quickly raised your glucose level. In diabetes just eating one meal doesn't account for glucose being high for days, more likely is a low level infection or medication taken for other reasons. You can ask at a chinese resturant that no sugar or corn starch be added to sauces and forget the rice and get extra tofu and vegetables in it's place.
"I had my lunch one day at a chinese restaurant comprising of Tofu with mixed vegetables with garlic sauce and steamed rice . The curry was very sweet probably on account of garic sauce and my BG shot up from 106 fasting to 144 and and took several days to return to normal ."
