Grave's Disease
First, you have to know what is homeostasis. Homeostasis is the regulation of the internal environment of the human body to maintain its balance. That means that the temperature should be regulated, blood should be regulated and this is actually very important since through blood many substances are filtered in and out of the body and transported. Ions must be regulated etc. So, in order for that to happen there are certain mechanism. The endocrine system is one of those, which brings us back to the topic, Grave’s disease.
Grave’s disease is an autoimmune disease of the thyroid gland. The thyroid gladn is the largest endocrine gland in the human body, so imagine what can happen to homeostasis if its normal function is disrupted. What happens with Grave’s disease is that this gland becomes overactive producing too many hormones. Since hormones help regulate the homeostasis of the body, that means that this balance would be lost.

Fever or an illness accompanied with a fever
Homeostasis, as you may know, is the way your body's metabolism maintains your physiological state (pH, temperature, etc.). Temperature is a good example of something that can kill you if it gets out of control. A high fever can be deadly. Homeostasis is what keeps your body at around 98.6 degrees. A fever symbols that you have an underlying illness that has not been treated and is getting worse. A fever is a temporary increase in your body temperature, often due to an illness. Having a fever is a sign that something out of the ordinary is going on in your body.
Diabetes
When your glucose (sugar) level is high, it damages blood vessels over time, resulting in decreased perfusion or circulation to affected areas. The high glucose levels also cause damage to nerves, which is what causes eventually diabetic neuropathy, characterized by numbness, tingling in toes, fingers, etc. The high glucose levels also leave one more susceptible to infection, because it causes prime conditions for bacteria to flourish. In fact with diabetes, that's the problem that the glucose cant get into the cell because of lack of or insufficient insulin. (insulin is the thing that enables glucose to enter the cells where it is needed. Not in the blood). Furnthermore, homeostasis can be affected when your sugar levels are extremely high, causing fluid and electrolyte problems. ie: diabetic ketoacidosis
