is dextrose a form of sugar?

thank you for all comments

yes. Dextrose is like table sugar. It is converted to sucrose in the body and is used as energy. If the sucrose is not used, it is stored as fat.

However, dextrose is a complex carbohydrate which really means nothing these days. It is more meaningful to differentiate carbs by their glycemic index. Dextrose has a high glycemic index.

Anything with the ose ending is usually a sugar: lactose, fructose, galactose, maltose, etc.
