What Should You Eat When Your Blood Sugar Is Unstable? Real Hong Kong User Case: Fasting Blood Glucose Record After 270 Packs

When people in Hong Kong hear the words “unstable blood sugar”, some of the first questions that come to mind are:

“Do I need to completely stop eating rice?”
“Does that mean I can’t have desserts at all?”
“Are there any supplements that can help support my daily management?”

With Hong Kong’s fast-paced lifestyle, completely avoiding carbohydrates and sugar is not always realistic. Breakfast at a cha chaan teng, takeaway for lunch, milk tea and bread for afternoon tea, then dinner after overtime — carbs and sugar can easily become part of almost every meal.

So in this Diet Diary, we are not only looking at what to eat for better blood sugar management, but also at a real user case involving Dr. Serum Silk Fibroin Jelly.

This 54-year-old female user completed two formal laboratory tests:

• 📅 Before: 28 February 2024

• 📅 After: 12 June 2024

• 🍑 According to the user’s record, she consumed 270 packs of Dr. Serum Jelly during this period

One of the most noticeable changes was her fasting blood glucose:

5.39 mmol/L → 3.97 mmol/L

A difference of 1.42 mmol/L.

*This is a single real-user before-and-after laboratory record. It presents only the changes recorded for this individual and does not mean that everyone who takes Dr. Serum will experience the same results.

Real Diet Diary: What Happened to Fasting Blood Glucose Before and After 270 Packs?

In the first test in February 2024, the user’s fasting blood glucose was recorded at 5.39 mmol/L.

Around three and a half months later, her fasting blood glucose was recorded at 3.97 mmol/L.

What makes this case worth looking at is that it is not simply based on someone saying, “I feel healthier.”

There are actual Before and After laboratory reports showing the figures at two different points in time.

During this period, the user consumed 270 packs of Dr. Serum Jelly.

Dr. Serum is a pre-meal dietary and weight-management Jelly with Silk Fibroin as its core ingredient. The brand explains its dietary-management concept through Silk Fibroin’s porous, mesh-like structure and the concept of physically adsorbing part of the fat and sugar from food.

For people in Hong Kong who eat out frequently and find it difficult to completely cut out rice, noodles and desserts, this kind of “start managing before the meal” approach can be easier to fit into everyday life.

What Should You Eat for Better Blood Sugar Management? Start With How You Build Each Meal

When people think about blood sugar, the first reaction is often:

“Do I need to completely cut out sugar?”

But if you think of blood sugar management as simply “avoiding sweets”, you may overlook some of the most common sources of carbohydrates in your everyday diet.

For example:

🍚 White rice
🍜 Noodles
🍞 Bread
🥐 Pastry-style breakfasts
🧋 Sweetened drinks
🍰 Desserts

These are all common parts of the Hong Kong diet.

So instead of eliminating every carbohydrate completely, it may be more practical to first look at:

• How much staple food is on your plate

• Whether your meal includes protein

• Whether you are eating vegetables

• Whether your drink contains added sugar

• How often desserts appear in your routine

Don’t Let Carbohydrates Take Over the Whole Meal

For example:

❌ Fried rice + iced milk tea + dessert

versus

✅ A moderate portion of rice + vegetables + meat/fish + a sugar-free drink

Both meals contain rice, but the overall balance is very different.

A simple structure to remember is:

Vegetables + Protein + A Moderate Portion of Staple Carbohydrates

There is no need to treat rice and noodles as the enemy, but they also do not need to dominate every meal.

Sweetened Drinks Are Often the Easiest Thing to Overlook

Many people in Hong Kong do not necessarily eat huge meals, but a daily milk tea, soft drink, juice or sweetened coffee can quietly become part of the routine.

If you currently drink something sweet every day, you could try:

Every day → Every other day → A few times a week

You do not need to quit everything overnight. Reducing the frequency is already a practical first step.

How Does Dr. Serum Jelly Work, and Why Is It Taken Before Meals?

The core ingredient in Dr. Serum is Silk Fibroin.

Brand materials describe Silk Fibroin as having a fine, porous or mesh-like structure.

A simple way to picture it is:

like a very fine “net” or “sponge-like structure”.

When taken before meals, the brand uses the concept of physically adsorbing part of the fat and sugar from food to explain how Dr. Serum fits into everyday dietary management.

In simple terms:

Take the Jelly before a meal
↓
Silk Fibroin’s porous / mesh-like structure
↓
The brand describes it as adsorbing part of the fat and sugar from food
↓
Supports everyday fat and sugar intake management

So the concept is slightly different from trying to “fix things after you have already eaten”.

Dr. Serum’s approach is:

Start Managing Before the Meal — Not After

For people in Hong Kong, this can be a particularly practical idea.

You may not always be able to control what your colleagues order for takeaway, whether you have a business dinner tonight, or whether dessert appears at the weekend.

But taking a Jelly before a meal is a relatively simple habit to keep consistent.

The current general usage is:

• 1 pack before breakfast

• 1 pack before lunch

• 1 pack before dinner

That means 3 packs per day. Simply tear open the pack and eat it directly — no mixing with water is required.

How Can Silk Fibroin Jelly Fit Into Everyday Blood Sugar Dietary Management?

When people talk about blood sugar, one of the most common questions is:

“Do I need to completely cut out sugar?”

But in everyday life, it is not just sweets and desserts that can contribute to overall carbohydrate and sugar intake.

Common Hong Kong foods and drinks include:

🍚 White rice
🍜 Noodles
🍞 Bread
🧋 Milk tea
🍰 Desserts
🥡 Takeaway sauces

All of these can gradually add to your daily carbohydrate and sugar intake.

Dr. Serum’s product positioning starts from the pre-meal stage.

The Silk Fibroin concept is not about making you lose your appetite or telling you to stop eating rice and noodles completely.

Instead, the brand describes it using the concept of physically adsorbing part of the fat and sugar from food, as part of normal dietary management.

So you can think of it as:

Eat normal meals + Add a pre-meal dietary-management step

rather than:

Want to manage blood sugar → Completely give up rice, noodles and desserts

For many people in Hong Kong, the second approach can be very difficult to maintain long term.

A more realistic routine may look like:

✅ Reduce the frequency of sweetened drinks
✅ Keep rice and noodle portions reasonable
✅ Include vegetables and protein at each meal
✅ Cut down on fried foods and heavy sauces
✅ Take Jelly before meals according to the suggested usage

Together, these habits are much closer to real everyday life.

Why Is This 270-Pack Case Worth Looking At?

What makes this case interesting is not only that the fasting blood glucose figure changed from 5.39 to 3.97 mmol/L.

It is also the fact that the user had a period of consistent use between February and June 2024, followed by another formal laboratory test for comparison.

When it comes to weight and dietary management, this kind of consistency is important.

The real question is often not:

“Did I eat one healthy meal today?”

but:

“Can I keep this routine going for several months?”

Dr. Serum is not positioned as a meal replacement, laxative or appetite suppressant. It is designed to fit into a normal eating routine as part of pre-meal dietary management.

So for someone who still has to work, eat out and enjoy meals with friends, the goal is to turn dietary management into a simple habit that is easier to maintain.

In this real user record:

Before: Fasting Blood Glucose 5.39 mmol/L

⬇️ During the 270-pack usage period

After: Fasting Blood Glucose 3.97 mmol/L

These figures can be presented as this individual user’s Diet Diary record. Actual changes can still vary depending on diet, activity levels, individual health condition and other lifestyle factors.

Blood Sugar Dietary Management: 5 Practical Places to Start

If you want to improve your diet, there is no need to make everything extreme from day one.

1. Drink Sweetened Beverages Less Often

Milk tea, soft drinks, juice and sweetened coffee can gradually be reduced from every day to a few times a week.

2. Keep Staple Food Portions Moderate

You do not have to completely stop eating rice or noodles, but avoid oversized portions and meals made up almost entirely of carbohydrates.

3. Add Protein and Vegetables to Each Meal

Instead of eating just noodles or just rice, add eggs, fish, meat, soy products and vegetables to make the meal more balanced.

4. Choose Less Fried Food and Heavy Sauce When Eating Out

You do not need to eat boiled food every day, but reducing fried foods, thick sauces and heavy gravies can be a practical step.

5. Move a Little After Meals

If you sit for long hours at work, start with something simple such as a 10–15 minute walk after meals or gradually increasing your daily step count.

These ideas may not sound dramatic, but they are often far more realistic than deciding to completely eliminate all carbohydrates overnight.

Blood Sugar Management FAQ

Do I Have to Stop Eating Rice If My Blood Sugar Is Unstable?

No.

Staple carbohydrates can still be part of your diet. What matters more is portion size, frequency and how you combine them with other foods.

A meal with vegetables, protein and a moderate portion of rice or noodles is generally more balanced than a huge plate made up mainly of carbohydrates.

Is a Fasting Blood Glucose of 5.39 High?

The reference range shown on this user’s Before laboratory report was 3.90–6.10 mmol/L, so 5.39 mmol/L was still within that laboratory’s stated reference range.

The After result of 3.97 mmol/L was also within the same reference range.

Does Taking 270 Packs Mean Everyone Will Go From 5.39 to 3.97?

No.

What can be confirmed in this case is that this user’s formal laboratory reports recorded fasting blood glucose values of 5.39 mmol/L and 3.97 mmol/L at two different points in time, with a 270-pack usage record during the period.

Diet, physical activity, health status and other individual factors are different for everyone, so results will naturally vary.

Does Taking Dr. Serum Mean I Can Ignore My Diet?

No.

Dr. Serum is better understood as one part of pre-meal dietary management.

Complete dietary and weight management still depends on:

• Food choices

• Portion sizes

• Activity levels

• Sleep

• Long-term lifestyle habits

Can I Take Dr. Serum If I’m on Blood Sugar Medication?

If you are currently taking blood sugar medication, blood pressure medication, cholesterol medication or other prescription drugs, it is best to show the full product ingredient information to your doctor or pharmacist first.

Dr. Serum should not be used as a replacement for prescribed medication.

Conclusion: What Should You Eat When Your Blood Sugar Is Unstable? You Don’t Have to Start by Cutting Out Everything

If blood sugar and dietary management already feel difficult, your first step does not have to be:

No rice. No noodles. No sweets.

Instead, you can start with:

✅ Drink sweetened beverages less often
✅ Keep rice and noodle portions moderate
✅ Include vegetables and protein at every meal
✅ Choose less fried food and heavy sauce when eating out
✅ Walk a little more after meals
✅ Build a consistent pre-meal management routine

Before: Fasting Blood Glucose 5.39 mmol/L

⬇️

After: Fasting Blood Glucose 3.97 mmol/L

During this period, the user completed a 270-pack Dr. Serum Jelly usage record.

For people in Hong Kong who frequently eat out, find it difficult to completely avoid rice, noodles and desserts, and do not want to rely on meal replacements or extreme dieting, Dr. Serum can be understood as a pre-meal dietary-management Jelly that is relatively easy to fit into everyday meals.

If you want to improve your diet, you do not need to aim for perfection from day one.

The most important thing is to find an approach that you can realistically maintain for three months, six months — or even longer.
