Storing Glucose

Hi,

I know that when you eat carbohydrates it comes to the liver as glucose and if the body needs energy the liver sends it to the body parts, and if it doesn't need energy it will be stored as fat. What I wonder is, let's say you have low blood sugar and get some glucose into the liver, then it would give the body energy and then when the body don't need energy anymore it would store it as fat. Is there a limit of time on how long the liver will store the glucose in itself before either giving it to the other body parts or storing it as fat?
