• 6) History of acute and chronic pancreatitis, or risk factors that may lead to pancreatitis, such as history of symptomatic gallbladder, history of pancreatic injury, etc. (except cholecystectomy);

• 7) A history of malignant tumor within 5 years prior to screening, excluding treated local basal cell carcinoma of the skin;

• 8) have obvious diseases of the blood system (such as aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, hemolytic anemia) or any diseases causing hemolysis or red blood cell instability (such as malaria);

• 9) Clinically significant gastric emptying abnormalities (e.g., gastric outlet obstruction), severe chronic gastrointestinal diseases (e.g., active ulcers within 6 months prior to screening);

• 10) There is a history of drug or alcohol abuse within 3 months prior to screening, which may affect the subject's compliance to participate in the test according to the investigator's judgment;

3. Received any of the following pharmacological or non-pharmacological treatments or procedures prior to screening:

• 1) Any hypoglycemic drug treatment other than metformin within 2 months prior to screening, including Chinese herbal therapy for hypoglycemic purposes (except cumulative use ≤7 days);

• 2) received systemic steroid hormone therapy (including intravenous and oral administration) and intraarticular administration for more than 7 days within 2 months prior to screening;

• 3) Bariatric surgery or procedures (e.g. gastric banding surgery) within 12 months prior to screening, or use of weight-loss medications within 3 months prior to screening, or weight fluctuation ≥10% within 3 months prior to screening;

• 4) Have received other gastrointestinal surgery that may lead to malabsorption before screening, or long-term use of drugs that directly affect gastrointestinal motility;

• 5) Have received blood transfusion, blood donation or blood loss ≥400 mL within 3 months before screening;

• 6) Participated in clinical trials of any drug or medical device within 3 months prior to screening (subject to entering into randomised procedures);

4. Any of the laboratory test indicators during screening meet the following standards (those who meet the criteria can be retested once within one week if there is a clear reason for retesting) :

• 2) patients with renal function injury were defined as eGFR <60ml/min/1.73 m2 (calculated according to the simplified formula of dietary adjustment for renal disease (MDRD));

• 3) Thyroid function test: abnormal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), serum free triiodothyronine (FT3), serum free thyroxine (FT4);

• 4) Fasting triglyceride ≥5.64 mmol/L (500 mg/ dL);

• 5) Blood amylase or lipase exceeded the upper limit of the normal range and was clinically significant as judged by researchers

5. Significant abnormal 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) results during screening, which the investigator considered might affect the safety of the subjects and are not suitable for this study;

6. Any other conditions (such as affecting the safety or efficacy evaluation of the subjects) that the investigator deemed inappropriate for the subjects to participate in the study.
