According to the Fischer projection formula, they are enantiomers.
d-glucose is called dextrose, l-glucose is called levose

Fructose and glucose are found in sucrose.
Glucose and Fructose are examples of monosaccharides.

Your question is not specific enough - what do you mean by isomer? If you mean stereoisomers (likely question with biomolecules) the two most common stereoisomers of glucose are L-glucose and D-glucose. There are 4 chiral carbons in glucose so there would be 42 or 16 possible stereoisomers. The other most important stereoisomers would be mannose and galactose.
For one, dextrose and glucose are both monomers, or to be specific, monosaccharides. Dextrose and glucose are essentially the same thing, except that dextrose is specifically D-glucose. There exists two stereoisomeric forms of glucose, being D-glucose and L-glucose. "D" refers to "right" and "L" refers to "left". Essentially stereoisomeric means that D-glucose and L-glucose are mirror images of each other. T The difference between L-glucose and R-glucose is that L-glucose cannot be metabolized during glycolysis which is a component of cellular respiration.
The D-glucose and L-glucose stereoisomers are found in nature. D-glucose is the common form of glucose found in biological systems, whereas L-glucose is less common and typically not metabolized by most organisms.

You can see in the above image the only difference is the position of the hydroxyl group (OH) on the carbon chain. They are mirror images of the other but they do not overlap. L-Glucose has to be made in a lab, whereas D-Glucose is naturally occurring. I've written an answer to the following question that might give you some more insight to the pathways involved.

Glucose, the chemical that plants produce for food, is a monosaccharide.
sucrose is a unique chemical compound containing a glucose and fructose unit (both of which exhibit chirality) connected by an alpha/beta linkage. in nature all sugar units are comprised of dextrorotary molecules. As far as synthetic manufacture is concerned there are 4 potential anaolgues of sucrose consisting of :d-d glucose/fructose, L-D glucose/fructose, D-L glucose/fructose, and L-L glucose/fructose
