The first organ to receive carbohydrates after the small intestine is the liver via the portal vein.
That would be the liver. Blood coming from your intestines go through a system called the portal system which is brought to the liver via the hepatic portal vein. Anything that you eat or drink will be brought to the liver for modification and assimilation so that the rest of the body can use it.

Which organs process sugar in the body and what do they do with it?

What happens when glucose levels are high in the human body.?

When glucose levels are high in the human body, a condition known as hyperglycemia occurs. The pancreas responds by releasing insulin, a hormone that helps cells absorb glucose for energy or storage. If high glucose levels persist, it can lead to insulin resistance, where cells become less responsive to insulin, potentially resulting in diabetes. Prolonged hyperglycemia can also cause damage to blood vessels and organs.
