Insulin degludec and liraglutide is a fixed-ratio combination drug used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults.

The combination is approved and used to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with basal insulin, GLP-1 receptor agonist, or oral antidiabetic drugs.
