The answer to this question is liver. The liver stores extra glucose and converts it into glycogen through glycogenesis. When the body's blood sugar drops, like when you don't eat for a long time and get hypoglycemia, the liver releases the glycogen into the bloodstream and restores the blood sugar level.
