The human body is very complex and seeks to maintain a constant internal environment. This state of dynamic equilibrium is called homeostasis. Some diseases such as diabetes can impact the body’s ability to maintain homeostasis. To maintain a relatively constant internal environment, the human body uses negative and positive feedback.
