Glucose is stored in the liver in the form of glyocgen. If there is too much glucose in the body to store, it will be stored in the form of fat of various types.

Excess glucose (the body's preferred fuel) is converted to glycogen and stored in the liver and muscles, OR it's converted and stored as fat when there's no need for glycogen. Glycogen is used in times when glucose is needed and the glucose is the blood is too low to support this. That could be while sleeping (which is a kind of a fasting) or when exercising or when reducing calories to lose weight. If the glycogen stores are depleted, and no food is eaten, fat is used. This is what you want to happen if you're trying to lose weight.

glucose doesn't get stored in the body.
Frankly the body has no use for it, so it uses up however much of it the body can for energy at the moment the rest gets neutralised by the insulin released by the pancreas(?). And it just passes through the system as a waste product.

(the same goes for all sugars and don't take my word for golden)

Glucose is converted to its high molecular weight polymer called GLYCOGEN. The process is called GLYCOGENESIS. This process takes place in liver and muscles.
