Question Pink lemonade and dextrose

Hi there, i was reading the label on a little kool-aid packet of Wylers pink lemonade. It said zero carbs and zero sugar, however in the ingredients list it listed dextrose, which I know is something to watch out for. My question is, with the packet of kool-aid you make about 2 quarts of juice, is this enough dextrose to be a no-no to a low carb diet? Say I drink 1 8oz. glass a day. Thanks so much for your help!

PS~ I would be mixing the kool-aid powder with splenda

you know, I've never figured out how to estimate how much sugar is in such products, so I tend to estimate .5 gram per serving, to be on the safe side (it could easily be less). If you're using granulated Splenda, there will be more sugar in that (only the liquid form is carb-free) than in the little packet of lemonade.
