Can't control diabetes.

I'm thinking that you might be lucky, I'll have to ask my GP when I see her later this month.

If you don't ask, you don't get. Especially in the NHS. Last time I was due blood tests I rang and asked the receptionist if the GP could add those extras. She said the GP would ring me. No phone call. Went for blood tests and all that I asked for were there, signed off by the GP. She hadn't even asked me why.

A similar thing happened previously when I asked my diabetic nurse if I could have an interim cholesterol and lipids tests. I got one. (with an HbA1c thrown in for good measure)
