A positive feedback of 100% or greater will result in a runaway situation. Both positive and negative feedback require a feedback loop to operate.
The disruption of feedback loops can lead to undesirable results: in the case of blood glucose levels, if negative feedback fails, the glucose levels in the blood may begin to rise dramatically, thus resulting in diabetes.
