Yes, you could remove the injectors and have them tested, but that's a lot of effort and costs money.

If you have access to (or you know a local garage that does) narrow borescope that will fit through the glowplug hole, that is a quicker way of checking. You should visually see a drip forming on the injector tip if this is the case.

Most of the cheap amazon borescopes are too wide, but they make automotive ones (such as Sealey) that are specifically narrow enough for a glow plug hole
