Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Subjects diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and on stable treatment for a period of 90 days prior to screening with metformin as monotherapy. Stable is defined as unchanged dose
* Male or female, age between18-64 years (both inclusive) at the time of signing informed consent
* Body Mass Index (BMI) between 20.0-35.0 kg/m\^2 (both inclusive)
* HbA1c (glycosylated haemoglobin) between 6.5-10.0% (both inclusive)

Exclusion Criteria

* Treatment with any glucose lowering agent(s) other than metformin in a period of 90 days before screening. An exception is short-term treatment (less than or equal to 7 days in total) with insulin in connection with intercurrent illness
* Recurrent severe hypoglycaemia (more than 1 severe hypoglycaemic event during the last 12 months) or hypoglycaemic unawareness as judged by the investigator or hospitalisation for diabetic ketoacidosis during the previous 6 months
* Blood or plasma donation within the past month or more than 500 mL within the last 3 months prior to first semaglutide dosing
