For human diabetics dextrose is used in case of a hypo:
"Dextrose is a type of sugar that can be found as a powder or as dextrose tablets. While regular table sugar is half fructose and half glucose, dextrose is completely pure glucose. Glucose is absorbed at a very fast rate, which makes it a common option for diabetics in case of a hypoglycemic episode."
This would definitely raise blood sugar very quickly, so not a good idea, unless you are treating a hypo episode.
