Following this 8-week period, the participant must qualify for entry into the Placebo Run-in Period by completing the Week -3 procedures and having an HbA1c concentration ≥7.0 and \<10.0%. 5. The participant has had no treatment with antidiabetic agents other than metformin within 2 months prior to Screening (Exception: if a participant has received other antidiabetic therapy for ≤7 days within the 2 months prior to Screening). 6. The participant has a body mass index (BMI) of ≤45 kg/m2 at Screening. 7. Participants regularly using other, non-excluded medications, must be on a stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to Screening. However, PRN (as needed) use of prescription or over-the-counter medications is allowed at the discretion of the investigator. 8. The participant is able and willing to monitor glucose with a home glucose monitor and consistently record his or her own blood glucose concentrations and complete participant diaries. Additional Inclusion Criteria Prior to Randomization 1. The participant has an HbA1c concentration ≥7.0% and \<10.0%, and a FPG ≤270 mg/dL (15.0 mmol/L) at the Week -1 Visit. (If the subject does not qualify for randomization based on these criteria, the assessment may be repeated weekly, for a maximum of 2 additional weeks). 2. The participant's compliance with the single-blind study medication during the Placebo Run-in Period is at least 75% and does not exceed 125% based on tablet/capsule counts performed by the study staff. 3. A female participant of childbearing potential must have a negative urine hCG pregnancy test at Baseline (Day 1) prior to Randomization and prior to administration of the first dose of double-blind study medication. Exclusion Criteria: 1. The participant has received any investigational compound within 30 days prior to Screening or has received an investigational antidiabetic drug within the 3 months prior to Screening. 2. The participant has been randomized into a previous TAK-875 study 3. The participant is an immediate family member, study site employee, or is in a dependant relationship with a study site employee who is involved in conduct of this study (e.g., spouse, parent, child, sibling) or may consent under duress. 4. The participant donated or received any blood products within 12 weeks prior to Screening or is planning to donate blood during the study. 5. The participant has a hemoglobin ≤12 g/dL (≤120 gm/L) for males and ≤10 g/dL (≤100 gm/L) for females at Screening. 6. The participant has a systolic blood pressure ≥160 mm Hg or diastolic pressure ≥95 mm Hg at Screening (If the participant meets this exclusion criterion, the assessment may be repeated once at least 30 minutes after the initial measurement). 7. The participant has history of cancer that has been in remission for \<5 years prior to Screening. A history of basal cell carcinoma or stage 1 squamous cell carcinoma of the skin is allowed. 8. The participant has alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels \>2.0x upper limit of normal (ULN) at Screening. 9. The participant has a total bilirubin level greater than the ULN at Screening. Exception: if a participant has documented Gilbert's Syndrome the participant will be allowed with an elevated bilirubin level per the investigator's discretion. 10. The participant has a serum creatinine ≥1.5 mg/dL(males) and ≥1.4 mg/dL(females) and/or estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \<60 mL/min/1.73m2 at Screening. 11. The participant has uncontrolled thyroid disease. 12. The participant has a history of laser treatment for proliferative diabetic retinopathy within 6 months prior to Screening. 13. The participant has had gastric banding, or gastric bypass surgery within one year prior to Screening. 14. The participant has a known history of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis B virus (HBV), or Hepatitis C virus (HCV). 15. The participant had coronary angioplasty, coronary stent placement, coronary bypass surgery, myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, clinically significant abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG), cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack within 3 months prior to or at Screening. 16. The participant has a history of hypersensitivity, allergies, or has had an anaphylactic reaction(s) to any component of TAK-875, metformin, or glimepiride. 17. The participant has a history of drug abuse (defined as illicit drug use) or a history of alcohol abuse within 2 years prior to Screening. 18. The participant received excluded medications prior to Screening or is expected to receive excluded medication. 19. If female, the participant is pregnant (confirmed by laboratory testing, i.e., serum/urine human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), in females of childbearing potential) or lactating or intending to become pregnant before, during, or within 1 month after participating in this study; or intending to donate ova during such time period. 20. The participant is unable to understand verbal or written English or any other language for which a certified translation of the approved informed consent is available. 21. The participant has any other physical or psychiatric disease or condition that in the judgment of the investigator may affect life expectancy or may make it difficult to successfully manage and follow the participant according to the protocol. Additional Exclusion Criteria Prior to Randomization 1. The participant has received excluded medications listed in the protocol during the Placebo Run-in Period (topical and inhaled corticosteroids are allowed). 2. The participant has a systolic blood pressure ≥160 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure ≥95 mm Hg at Baseline (Day 1) (If the subject meets this exclusion criterion, the assessment may be repeated once at least 30 minutes after the initial measurement and decision will be made based on the second measurement). 3. The participant has a serum creatinine ≥1.5 mg/dL(≥133µmol/L) \[males\] and ≥1.4 mg/dL (≥124 µmol/L) \[females\] and/or estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \<60 mL/min/1.73m2 at Visit 3 (Schedule B subjects only).
