1 in 12 is wild. That means about 50% of all obese germans are on GLP-1s.

It also likely includes T2 diabetics, where these meds are more or less best-in-class treatment now.

Are overweight but non-obese people unable to get GLP1s in Germany?

You need a BMI >30 or a BMI >27 + some risk factor like high blood pressure.

Yes, anyone is able to 'get' GLP1 analogs, but your BMI and comorbidities (as well as purchasing power) determine the 'how' and the cost.
