Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: • Subjects diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and treated with OAD(s) for at least 3 months • HbA1c: ? 7.0-11.0 % (both inclusive) in subjects on OAD monotherapy ? 7.0-10.0 % (both inclusive) in subjects on OAD combination therapy • Age 18-80 years, both inclusive. (as allowed according to local guidelines for glimepiride treatment) • Body mass index (BMI) = 45.0 kilogram (kg)/square metre (m2) At Randomisation: • Daily use of 4 mg glimepiride for at least 2 weeks • Mean fasting plasma glucose (FPG) of 7.0-12.8 mmol/L both incl.

Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • Treatment with insulin within the last three months prior to the trial (except for short-term treatment with insulin in connection with intercurrent illness at the discretion of the Investigator) • Impaired liver function, defined as alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) = 2.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) (one retest analysed at the central laboratory within a week is permitted with the last sample being the conclusive sample) • Impaired renal function defined as serum-creatinine = 125 µmol/L (= 1.4 mg/dL) for males and = 110 µmol/L (= 1.3 mg/dL) for females (one retest analysed at the central laboratory within a week permitted with the last sample being the conclusive sample) • Clinically significant active cardiovascular disease including history of myocardial infarction within the past 6 months and/or heart failure (New York Heart Association (NYHA) class I-IV) • Proliferative retinopathy or maculopathy requiring acute treatment as judged by the Investigator • Recurrent major hypoglycaemia or hypoglycaemic unawareness as judged by the Investigator • Use of any drug (except for OADs), which, in the Investigator’s opinion, could interfere with the glucose level (e.g. systemic corticosteroids) • Females of child bearing potential who are pregnant, breast-feeding or have the intention of becoming pregnant or not using adequate contraceptive methods (adequate contraceptive measures as required by local law or practise).
