Exclusion criteria

(subject to be excluded if meeting any of the followings)

1. Investigator suspecting the subject of allergy to the study drug

2. Use of any of the following medications or therapies prior to screening

GLP-1 receptor agonists, GLP-1 analogues, DPP-4 inhibitors or any other incretin analogues
Growth hormone therapy within the 6 months prior to screening
History of drug abuse or alcohol abuse
Participation in any clinical trial for a pharmaceutical product or medical device within the 3 months prior to screening
Prolonged (for at least 7 consecutive days) intravenous, oral or intraarticular treatment with corticosteroids within the 2 months prior to screening
Use of any weight control agents or surgeries that might lead to unstable weight within the 2 months prior to screening, or subjects currently on a weight loss plan not in the maintenance phase
Any medications used prior to screening that at the investigator's discretion may confound the interpretation of the efficacy or safety data, or use of any medications that may cause common toxicities to major organs, including Chinese herbal medicine

3. History or evidence of any of the following conditions prior to screening:

Type 1 diabetes mellitus, single gene mutation DM, DM associated with pancreatic injury, or secondary DM, e.g., DM secondary to Cushing syndrome or acromegalia
History of hypertension with SBP>160 mmHg and/or DBP>100 mmHg despite glucose-lowering agents at stable dose (for at least 4 weeks)
History of acute/chronic pancreatitis, history of symptomatic cholecystopathy, and the risk factors for pancreatitis including pancreatic injury
History of myeloid C-cell carcinoma, history of multiple endocrine neoplasm (MEN) 2A or 2B syndrome, or related familiar history
Clinically significant gastric emptying disorders, severe chronic gastrointestinal disorders, prolonged treatment with peristalsis stimulants, or gastrointestinal surgery
History of severe hypoglycemic episode, or severe hypoglycemia without symptoms
Significant hematological disorders , or any diseases that may lead to hemolysis or unstable RBC
Severe diabetic complications (e.g., macrovascular and microvascular complications) that in the opinion of the investigator make the subject not suitable to participate in this study
Tumors of any organ or system that have or have not been treated within the 5 years prior to screening, regardless of whether there is evidence of relapse or metastasis, with the exception of local basal cell carcinoma of the skin
Coronary angioplasty, coronary stenting, coronary artery bypass, uncompensated heart failure (NYHA Class III or IV), stroke or transient cerebral ischemic attack, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and persistent and clinically significant arrhythmia, experienced within the 6 months prior to screening
Acute metabolic complications (e.g., ketoacidosis, lactic acidosis, hyperosmolar coma) within the 6 months prior to screening

Blood lipid disorders treated with unstable therapeutic doses (e.g., statins, fibrates) within the 6 months prior to screening
Any severe trauma or severe infection that may interfere with BG control within the 1 month prior to screening

4. Laboratory indicators meeting any of the following criteria prior to screening (any test meeting the criteria must be repeated within 3 work days for confirmation)

ALT>2.5×ULN and/or AST>2.5×ULN and/or total bilirubin>2.5×ULN
Hemoglobin≤100 g/L
Serum creatinine>1.5×UNL and eGFR < 45 ml/min/1.73 m2 eGFR is calculated as:186.3 ×[(Serum Creatinine(mmol/L)/88.4)]-1.154 × [Age (years)]- 0.203 × 1.223 × 0.742 (Females) or ×1(Males)

Blood amylase and urine amylase>ULN that is assessed as clinically significant by the investigator
Any clinically significant laboratory abnormalities that at the investigator's discretion may confound the interpretation of the efficacy or safety data

5. Clinically significant 12-lead ECG abnormalities, e.g., Grade II or III atrial ventricular block (with the exception of right bundle branch block),long QT syndrome or QTc>500ms

6. Blood donation or loss≥400 mL,or receipt of blood donation within the 4 weeks prior to screening

7. Pregnant or lactating women, or men or women of child-bearing potential not willing to take contraceptive measures during the study

8. Any other conditions of the subject that at the investigator's discretion may compound the interpretation of the efficacy or safety data
