Hi,

PCOS is generally diagnosed from signs and symptoms, hormone levels, and exclusion of other conditions. Presence or otherwise of polycystic ovaries is not important in the diagnosis.

Dianete will help with the symptoms. However, to treat the cause it is recommended that an insulin sensitiser (metformin) be used. This should be the first line of treatment. Then, if you want to use dianette as well, that may also be helpful.
