Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors and glucagonlike peptide-1 (GLP-1) mimetics or analogs, which rely on the gastrointestinal hormones that are part of the incretin system for the treatment of T2DM, provide a therapeutic alternative to common oral antihyperglycemic agents (eg, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones). Although GLP-1 analogs and DPP-4 inhibitor medications are effective, there are differences between these products, including method of administration (injectable versus oral). Previous studies have shown that patients prefer additional oral agents over injectable agents because of fear of injections and the desire to avoid them. Patient preference is both clinically and financially important, as it can have long-term implications in terms of patients' motivation and insight into their disease state and its treatment, which might have a direct impact on the patient's compliance and treatment adherence. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the proportion of T2DM patients preferring oral anti-diabetic treatment with vildagliptin + metformin versus an injectable anti-diabetic treatment with liraglutide after 4 weeks of treatment with each medication.

| Number of patients responding to subjective reasons of preference to each treatment | Individual patient preference will be assessed by a two-choice question. Patients will also be asked to specify the reason for preference. A specific questionnaire for the preference reasons will be provided. | Week 12, week 24 |
| Number of patients with adverse event, serious adverse events and death | Adverse events are defined as any unfavorable and unintended diagnosis, symptom, sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), syndrome or disease which either occurs during study, having been absent at baseline, or, if present at baseline, appears to worsen. Serious adverse events are any untoward medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require (or prolong) hospitalization, cause persistent or significant disability/incapacity, result in congenital anomalies or birth defects, or are other conditions which in judgment of investigators represent significant hazards. | 24 weeks |
| Change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose at 12 weeks and 24 weeks | Blood glucose measurements will be performed at baseline, week 12 and week 24 visits. | From Baseline to 12 weeks and 24 weeks |
| Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at week 12 and week 24 | HbA1c measurements will be performed at baseline, week 12 and week 24 visits. | From Baseline to 12 weeks and 24 weeks |
| Investigator preference and subjective reasons of preference to each treatment | Investigator preference will be assessed by a two-choice question. Investigator will also be asked to specify the reason for preference. A specific questionnaire for the preference reasons will be provided. | Week 12, week 24 |
