Inclusion criteria

Informed consent before initiation of any study-specific activities/procedures.
Male or female participants aged ≥ 18 and ≤ 70 years at the time of signing informed consent.
Body mass index ≥ 23.0 kg/m^2 (Asian participants only) or ≥ 25 and ≤ 45 kg/m^2 at screening.
Diagnosis of T2DM at least 6 months before screening based on the WHO classification.
Treatment of T2DM for at least 3 months prior to screening with diet and exercise and a stable dose of metformin (either immediate release or extended release), with or without a stable dose of 1 additional OAM other than metformin.

Exclusion criteria

History of proliferative diabetic retinopathy or diabetic macular edema or nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy that requires acute treatment.

Has modified diet or adopted any nutritional lifestyle modifications within 3 months prior to screening, as assessed by the investigator (or designee) based on participant self-report.
History of malignancy within the last 5 years before screening (except nonmelanoma skin cancers, cervical carcinoma in situ, or breast ductal carcinoma in situ).

Currently receiving treatment in another investigational device or drug study, or less than 30 days (or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer) since ending treatment on another investigational device or drug study(ies).
Participants of childbearing potential unwilling to adhere to contraception requirements during treatment and for an additional 16 weeks after the last dose of IMP.
Participants who are breastfeeding or who plan to breastfeed while on study through 16 weeks after the last dose of IMP.
Participants planning to become pregnant while on study through 16 weeks after the last dose of IMP.
Major surgical procedure planned during the study.
Participant has known sensitivity to any of the products or components to be administered during dosing.
Participant likely to not be available to complete all protocol-required study visits or procedures, and/or to comply with all required study procedures to the best of the participant and investigator's knowledge.
History or evidence of any other clinically significant disorder, condition, or disease (except for those outlined above) that, in the opinion of the investigator or medical monitor, if consulted as necessary, would pose a risk to participant's safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures, or completion.
