No

Why not?

because.

 

[wootool]

the purpose of taking dextrose with creatine is to create an insulin spike to help drive the C into the muscles.

Fructose doesnt spike insulin.

Wootool is correct.
Dextrose has an extremely high GI (Glycemic Index of approximately 140), which spikes insulin. Fructose on the other hand has a GI of only 23.
