Default Clinitest tablets for residual sugar?

I keep reading that I should use Clinitest for checking residual sugar when
I bottle my wine. I like to stabilize and then add more sugar before
bottling. My question is, I'm adding regular sugar (sucrose), wouldn't the
clinitest be looking for glucose? How accurate is it for wine with sucrose
sugar? I looked at Walmart the other day for clinitest but couldn't find
it. Is it actually called something else?

Thanks,
Britt
