What you type

Create a causal loop diagram for type 2 diabetes with insulin resistance, blood glucose, insulin demand, beta-cell stress, insulin secretion and glucotoxicity. Show a reinforcing loop in which high glucose increases beta-cell stress and reduced insulin secretion raises glucose.

The drawing

What a pathophysiology flowchart is.

A pathophysiology flowchart maps how a condition develops from triggers through physiological changes to clinical effects. In a causal loop diagram, every arrow is signed: a plus means the variables tend to move in the same direction, and a minus means they move in opposite directions.

Feedback loops are especially useful when a change can worsen or counteract itself over time. They are simplified teaching models, not diagnostic tools or individual treatment plans.

Causal Loop Diagram: What a pathophysiology flowchart is

Who uses it

Who uses pathophysiology flowcharts.

Medical and nursing students

Mechanism summaries that connect individual facts before an exam or class discussion.

Educators

A shared visual explanation of inflammatory and physiological feedback for teaching sessions.

Clinical teams

A high-level discussion aid for a mechanism, alongside current clinical guidance.

How it works

How to make a pathophysiology flowchart in three steps.
