Inclusion criteria

* Have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) * Are at least 18 years of age or legal age of consent in the jurisdiction in which the study is taking place, whichever is older. * Have HbA1c at screening * ≥7.0% and ≤10.5% if background diabetes medication does not include a sulfonylurea, or * ≥7.5% and ≤10.5% if background diabetes medication includes a sulfonylurea. * Are on stable treatment of at least 1 and no more than 3 oral antihyperglycemic drugs for at least 90 days before screening. Antihyperglycemic drugs may include metformin, SGLT-2 inhibitors, and/or sulfonylureas * Have increased risk for cardiovascular (CV) events due to: * Coronary heart disease * Peripheral arterial disease, presumed to be of atherosclerotic origin * Cerebrovascular disease, presumed to be of atherosclerotic origin * Chronic kidney disease (CKD) * Congestive heart failure (CHF) New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification II to III * Are of stable weight (± 5%) for at least 90 days prior to screening * Have a BMI ≥25 kilograms per meter squared (kg/m2) at screening

Exclusion criteria

* Have type 1 diabetes mellitus * Have had chronic or acute pancreatitis any time prior to screening * Currently receiving or planning to receive treatment for diabetic retinopathy and/or macular edema (e.g. laster photocoagulation or intravitreal injections of anty-VEGF inhibitors * Have a known clinically significant gastric emptying abnormality * Have acute or chronic hepatitis, signs and symptoms of any other liver disease, or blood alanine transaminase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) enzyme level ≥5.0 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) for the reference range, as determined by the central laboratory * Have had any of the following within 60 days prior to screening: acute myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident (stroke), or hospitalization for congestive heart failure * Have an eGFR \<15 mL/min/1.73 m2 as determined at screening * Have a family (first-degree relative) or personal history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 * Have been taking any other diabetes medicines other than metformin, SGLT-2 inhibitors, and/or sulfonylureas during the last 90 days * Have used any weight loss drugs, including herbal or nutritional supplements, within 90 days of screening

Change from Baseline in Short Form 36 Version 2 (SF-36v2) Acute Form Domain ScoreBaseline, Week 52The SF-36v2 acute form is a 36-item generic, participant completed measure designed to assess 8 domains: physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health. Scores of each domain are measured by T-scores, with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10; higher scores indicate better levels of function and/or better health.
Pharmacokinetics (PK): Plasma Serum Concentrations of OrforglipronBaseline through Week 52PK will be estimated based on the population PK model.
