Yes, everything is toxic in excess amounts, this includes things like water. The statistic used to measure this is called LD50, or Lethal Dose 50% is how much something needs to be consumed at once to kill 50% of the test population. Of course, it is highly unethical to do this on humans, so mice are used instead and we assume humans will behave similarly. The LD50 of glucose is 30 grams per kilogram of body mass.
