If i remember correctly, the reasoning behind the preference of dextrose is that dextrose goes directly to your muscles to replenish your muscle glycogen levels, while other carbs (most notably fructose) go to the liver to replenish liver glycogen, which is more likely to kick you out of ketosis. Sucrose (table sugar) is 1/2 glucose and 1/2 fructose. I think maltose is also a good alternative to dextrose as it converts to muscle glycogen primarily as well.
