Inclusion criteria

Participants with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) for at least 3 months before the screening visit.
On diet/exercise and/or treatment with metformin (stable dose of ≥1500 mg/day or maximal tolerated dose) for at least 3 months prior to screening.
Signed informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

At screening, participant's age < legal age of adulthood and >80 years.

Diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Fasting plasma glucose of >15 mmol/L (270 mg/dL) measured by the central laboratory at screening (Visit 1), and confirmed (>15 mmol/L [270 mg/dL]) by a repeat test before randomization.
Treatment with glucose-lowering agents(s) other than metformin, currently or within the 3 months prior to screening.
Previous insulin use, except for episode(s) of short-term treatment (≤15 consecutive days) for intercurrent illness or pregnancy, or use of insulin within the last 6 months.
Contraindication(s) to metformin use.
Contraindication(s) to liraglutide use.
Significant change in body weight in the 3 months before screening.
Poorly controlled hypertension (a resting systolic blood pressure (SBP) >160 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) >95 mm Hg at screening).
History of long QT syndrome and/or QTc more than 450 ms at screening visit.
History of pancreatitis or pancreatectomy.
History of weight loss surgery.
