Changing my night time snack

After having fasting blood glucose readings of 96 several times in one week, I e-mailed the dietitian to see if I should change anything. I had been having a night time snack of 3 graham cracker halves with peanut butter and a glass of milk. She recommended changing that snack to have whole wheat bread or wheat crackers instead of graham crackers. Since switching to a snack of 1/2 peanut butter sandwich on whole grain bread with just a smidgen of reduced sugar jam and a glass of milk, my fasting glucose readings have been 95 and under, although usually just slightly - around 94. If it tips back up over 95, I'll try cutting out the jam, but that is my one snack that I pretend is dessert so it's nice to have that little bit of sweetness.
