Study population: Adult patients with type 2 diabetes who are naïve to injectable glucose-lowering treatment

Brief summary: The purpose of the study is to collect information on how Rybelsus® works in people with type 2 diabetes and to see if Rybelsus® can lower their blood sugar levels. Participants will get Rybelsus® as prescribed by the study doctor. The study will last for about 8-10 months. Participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about how they take their Rybelsus® tablets. Participants will complete this questionnaire during their normally scheduled visit with the study doctor. Participants will be asked to complete some questionnaires about their diabetes treatment. Participants will complete these during their normally scheduled visits with the study doctor.
