Male or female, age above or equal to 20 years at the time of signing informed consent. 3. Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. 4. HbA1c = 50 and 300 and = 25 and 100 and < 5000 mg/g. 6. Treatment with maximum labelled or tolerated dose of a renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blocking agent including an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), unless such treatment is contraindicated or not tolerated. Treatment dose must be stable for at least 4 weeks prior to the date of the laboratory assessments used for determination of inclusion criterion 5 and kept stable until screening.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Known or suspected hypersensitivity to trial product(s) or related products. 2. Previous participation in this trial. Participation is defined as randomisation. 3. Female who is pregnant, breast-feeding or intends to become pregnant or is of child-bearing potential and not using a highly effective contraceptive method. 4. Participation in any clinical trial of an approved or non-approved investigational medicinal product within 30 days before screening. Brazil: For country specific requirements. 5. Any disorder, which in the investigator's opinion might jeopardise subject's safety or compliance with the protocol. 6. Congenital or hereditary kidney diseases including polycystic kidney disease, autoimmune kidney diseases including glomerulonephritis or congenital urinary tract malformations. 7. Use of any GLP-1 receptor agonist within 30 days prior to screening. 8. Personal or first degree relative(s) history of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) or medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). 9.

Current (or within 90 days) chronic or intermittent haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. 13. Uncontrolled and potentially unstable diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy. Verified by a fundus examination performed within the past 90 days prior to screening or in the period between screening and randomisation. Pharmacological pupil-dilation is a requirement unless using a digital fundus photography camera specified for non-dilated examination. 14. Presence or history of malignant neoplasm within 5 years prior to the day of screening. Basal and squamous cell skin cancer and any carcinoma in-situ are allowed. 15. A prior solid organ transplant or awaiting solid organ transplant. 16. Combination use of an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB).
