This is some good info on PWO shakes and it has a cool calculator to help determine the amounts that you need. Doesnt give specific ingredients but check it out. http://www.naturalphysiques.com/tools.php?itemid=30

It would be far better for one to wheen them selves off sugar for a while and get a blood sugar test and consults a doctor before experimenting with large doses of dextrose or glucose.
