Max: you're right; Dextrose is a form of sugar.
All sugars are forms of carbohydrates, that's why you see it listed under carbs on the nutrition facts label on foods.

Max:
Sorry, my wording was ambiguous. Dextrose is Glucose. The two names can be used interchangeably although I think that Glucose is the preferred name.
Hope this helps.

M6, the shopping mart term for dextrose is "corn sugar". Cheapest place to buy it is at a home wine brewing store. They'll sell you a large bag for a couple bucks.
