Inclusion criteria

Male or female, aged 18-75 years (both inclusive) at the time of signing informed consent
Subjects diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus for at least 90 days prior to the day of screening.
Treated with diet and exercise and/or metformin monotherapy. The metformin dose should be unchanged in a period of 30 days prior to screening
Body mass index (BMI) between 20.0-38 kg/m^2 (both inclusive)
HbA1c (glycosylated haemoglobin) between 6.0-9.0 % (both inclusive)

Exclusion criteria

Female who is pregnant, breast-feeding or intends to become pregnant or is of child-bearing potential and not using adequate contraceptive methods (adequate contraceptive measures as required by local regulation or practice)
Family or personal history of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2 or Medullary Thyroids Carcinoma
History of pancreatitis (acute or chronic)
Presence of clinically significant or symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders potentially affecting absorption of drugs and/or nutrients, as judged by the investigator
History of major surgical procedures involving the stomach potentially affecting absorption of trial product (e.g. subtotal and total gastrectomy, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass surgery)
History or presence of any clinically relevant respiratory, metabolic (including dyslipedimia, however mild dyslipidaemia, defined as screening total cholesterol below or equal to 7.8 mmol/L and screening triglyceride below or equal to 3.42 mmol/L is accepted), renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, endocrinological conditions (except conditions associated with diabetes mellitus)
History or presence of malignant neoplasms within the last 5 years (except basal and squamous cell skin cancer and in-situ carcinomas)
History or presence of cardiovascular disease including stable and unstable angina, myocardial infarction, transient ischaemic attack, stroke, cardiac decompensation, clinically significant arrhythmias and conduction disorders
Renal impairment with estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) below 60 mL /min as defined by CKD-EPI using IDMS for serum creatinine measurement on the day of screening
Impaired liver function, defined as ALT above or equal to 2.5 times upper normal limit (UNL) on the day of screening
Smoker (defined as a subject who is smoking more than 1 cigarette or the equivalent per day). During the in-patient period, the subject must be willing to completely refrain from smoking and use of nicotine substitute products
Known or suspected alcohol abuse within 1 year from screening (defined as regular intake of more than 21 units weekly for men and 14 units weekly for women - one unit of alcohol equals about 300 mL of beer or lager, one glass (100 mL) of wine, or 25 mL spirits)
