Phase 3

This study is for kids and teens with **Type 2 Diabetes**. Type 2 Diabetes is when the body doesn't use insulin well, a hormone that helps control blood sugar. The study checks if a new pill, **semaglutide**, works better than a **placebo** (a fake pill with no medicine) and is safe. Participants will either get semaglutide or the placebo by chance and take 1 tablet every morning before eating or drinking. The study lasts about 1 year and 3 months and includes 12 visits to the clinic and 8 phone calls. At each clinic visit, blood samples will be taken, and questions will be asked.

  • **Study Duration**: 1 year and 3 months
  • **Visits**: 12 clinic visits and 8 phone calls
  • **Eligibility**: Kids aged 10-17 with Type 2 Diabetes

To join, you must have a stable dose of metformin or basal insulin. You cannot participate if you have Type 1 Diabetes or specific antibodies. Parental consent and child assent are needed before starting.
