Is maltodextrin effective enough to be taken in my PWO shake without using dextrose? Will the benefits of insulin spiking be compromised if I take maltodextrin alone? At the moment I am out of dextrose but still have a big container of maltodextrin.

Malto should be fine. You may want to read the post "Holy Insulin Spikes, Batman!!" a little further down on this page.

Malto is fine, many products use this. I would however get some dextrose. If you are anywhere near a drug store, you can get glucose tabs, a roll of 10 for instance or a box of the square type for around a dollar.
