Daughter not officially diagnosed yet. Should I tell her this is what I believe she has?

I have a 13 y.o daughter who has an extreme hormonal imbalance now being treated with birth control. We have some upcoming appointments to figure out what's causing it but I'm pretty sure it's pcos. She has excessive hair growth, darkening of the neck, and around this time developed anxiety, low self esteem, and is awkward around people.

​

I am trying to get her to eat healthier but it's a struggle. She is overweight but has an athletic built so really doesn't look like it at all. I am concerned about the risk of obesity and diabetes but don't want her to feel doomed by hearing this. Should I wait for official diagnosis and not bring pcos up to her? I've been trying to get her to eat better for a while, even before finding out about this, but she's such a picky eater so it's difficult. I have always put restrictions on snacks and limit it to one serving size per day, but thinking of cutting back more now.

​

Any tips on healthy eating for teens who hate vegetables would also be appreciated.
