Technically yes, although this would be difficult, require a great deal of inputs and would not result in a product you would call "edible sugar". Dextrose is a specific sugar molecule; in physiologic systems dextrose can be formed from fatty acid chains or proteins via complex enzyme pathways. Those pathways are typically found in plant cells, as plants use carbohydrates (like dextrose) as an energy storage molecule. Animal cells can break down dextrose and convert it to glucose, but typically cannot form dextrose from other molecules.

If you really wanted to work at it, you could take a pork carcass and turn a fair portion of it into dextrose, although (as stated above) it would be an extremely energy and enzyme-intensive process.
