Though glucose is better than fructose, there's still enough credible concern out there about spiking glucose levels and insulin issues that your self-treatment may not be the boon you think it is.
In any case, a lot of formed and powedered candies are almost pure 'dextrose' -- so you don't need to go to industrial suppliers. Just grab some Sweetarts/Lik-M-Aid/PixieStix.
