Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: At Visit 1 /Screening Visit 1. Patient has T2DM and is =18 and =79 years of age on the day of signing the informed consent form. 2. Patient is on a stable dose of metformin monotherapy at a dose of at least 1500 mg per day for at least 12 weeks and has an A1C =7.0% and =11.0% at Visit 1/ Screening Visit. 3. Patient is a male, or a female who is highly unlikely to conceive as indicated by at least one "yes" answer to the following questions: a. Patient is a female who is not of reproductive potential.

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: After 26 weeks, in patients with T2DM with inadequate glycemic control on metformin monotherapy: To assess the effect of a sitagliptin-based treatment paradigm compared with a liraglutide-based treatment paradigm on A1C;Secondary Objective: After 26 weeks, to assess the effect of a sitagliptin-based treatment paradigm compared with a liraglutide-based treatment paradigm: 1) on fasting plasma glucose (FPG). 2) on the proportion of patients at the glycemic goals of A1C <7.0% and <6.5%.;Primary end point(s): A1C change from baseline at Week 26
