Because one vet doesn't agree with another doesn't make one vet "better" or "more qualified" than another...New information about the drugs or medical information is always being updated...I use several vets, one being a reproduction specialist...I will not hesitate to ask any or all of them for information...
With that being said...IMO...if there is a risk of infection or tissue dying from the use of sugar by SubQ injections ....Why risk that when you already have a puppy struggling to survive?...Why lessen their chances of survival when giving them dextrose orally and SubQ fluids without these added risks...The results are the same!

You're absolutely right.....all decisions should be with the input of ones vet. Information provided on a forum is just that, information to take to ones vet to be discussed. Bottom line the person needs to make an educated decision and they are ultimately responsible for their decision.
What I really would like is to have an update from this person.
