Inclusion criteria

Informed consent obtained before any trial-related activities (trial-related activities are any procedures that would not have been performed during normal management of the subject.)
Japanese subjects with type 2 diabetes on monotherapy with an OAD (either glinide, metformin, a-glucosidase inhibitor or thiazolidinedione) within approved Japanese labelling in addition to diet and exercise therapy. Total daily dose and type of drug should have remained unchanged for at least 8 weeks prior to Visit 1
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (clinically diagnosed) for at least 6 months
HbA1c between 7.0-10.0% (both inclusive)
Body Mass Index (BMI) below 40.0 kg/m^2
Outpatients who have no plans for an educational hospitalisation for the purpose of glycaemic control. However, hospitalisation for training of self-injection from Visit 2 that is for no longer than one week is allowed
Subjects able and willing to perform self-monitoring of plasma glucose (SMPG)

Exclusion criteria

Subjects with known or previous malignant tumor and are strongly suspected of recurrence (except basal cell skin cancer or squamous cell skin cancer)
Calcitonin above or equal to 160 pg/mL
Personal history of non-familial medullary thyroid carcinoma
Family or personal history of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN-2) or familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (FMTC)
History of chronic pancreatitis or idiopathic acute pancreatitis
Recurrent severe hypoglycaemia (more than 1 severe hypoglycaemic event during the last 12 months) or hypoglycaemic unawareness as judged by the investigator or hospitalisation for diabetic ketoacidosis during the previous 6 months
Treatment with GLP-1 receptor agonist or dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor within 12 weeks prior to Visit 1
Having contraindications to liraglutide and any of the OADs (according to Japanese labelling)
