Rate My Professor Ray Davey

Dr. Ray Davey is a Senior Lecturer in the Curtin School of Allied Health, Faculty of Health Sciences at Curtin University. He holds a BSc (Hons) and PhD. His academic career includes prior roles at the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research and the University of Western Australia. Davey's research specializes in exercise and type 1 diabetes, examining glucose dynamics during physical activity to mitigate risks like hypoglycemia. He contributes to teaching and supervision in Exercise and Sport Science honours projects, focusing on exercise physiology quantification.

Davey's influential publications include 'Glucose requirements to maintain euglycemia after moderate-intensity afternoon exercise in adolescents with type 1 diabetes are increased in a biphasic manner' (2007; 314 citations), 'The effect of a short sprint on postexercise whole-body glucose production and utilization rates in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus' (2012; 126 citations), 'Effect of exercise intensity on glucose requirements to maintain euglycemia during exercise in type 1 diabetes' (2016; 95 citations), 'The effect of midday moderate-intensity exercise on postexercise hypoglycemia risk in individuals with type 1 diabetes' (2013; 87 citations), and 'Improving epinephrine responses in hypoglycemia unawareness with real-time continuous glucose monitoring in adolescents with type 1 diabetes' (2011; 87 citations). Recent studies cover parental views on smartwatch activity trackers for children aged 3-5 years (2025) and preanalytical factors in capillary blood glucose measurements (2025). In 2023, he was part of the Exercise Right Week Teaching Team receiving a Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning in the Australian Awards for University Teaching. With nearly 1,000 citations, his work impacts safe exercise guidelines for type 1 diabetes management.
