Inclusion criteria

Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D) mellitus greater than equal to (≥) 180 days before screening.
Stable daily dose(s) ≥ 90 days prior to the day of screening of metformin ≥ 1500 milligrams (mg) or maximum tolerated or effective dose.
HbA1c of 7.0-10.5 percentage (%) [53-91.3 millimoles per mole (mmol/mol)] (both inclusive).

Exclusion criteria

Known or suspected hypersensitivity to study intervention(s) or related products.
Treatment with any medication for the indication of diabetes or obesity other than stated in the inclusion criteria within 90 days before screening. However, short term insulin treatment for a maximum of 14 days and prior insulin treatment for gestational diabetes are allowed.
Uncontrolled and potentially unstable diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy. Verified by a fundus examination performed within 90 days before screening or in the period between screening and randomisation. Pharmacological pupil-dilation is a requirement unless using a digital fundus photography camera specified for nondilated examination.
