No, blood glucose concentration is regulated by negative feedback. When blood sugar levels are too high, the alpha particles in the pancreas' islets of Langerhans signal the pancreas to produce more insulin, which regulates the sugar level by stimulating the liver and other body cells to absorb more glucose at convert it into either glycogen or fat. This lowers the blood sugar concentration. If it were positive feedback, high blood sugar levels would encourage the production of more glucose to increase the blood sugar concentration.
