Dextrose is glucose, and on an industrial basis is made from corn starch and an enzyme. This converts the starch into glucose. You probably do not have the proper tools and materials to make glucose.

Common sugar or sucrose can be transformed into glucose, but again it takes other materials. Enzymes are most often used to transform sucrose into glucose through a process of hydrolysis, Microorganisms can do it also.

I don't know what you mean by an "alternate dextrose", but dextrose, like most organic molecules, exists as a right-handed and a left-handed variety. These are called "stereoisomers". Left-handed dextrose is not digestible by human beings, while the right-handed form is.
