Morphology
The meaning 'identified as having a particular disease' is directly and compositionally derived from 'diagnose' (identify an illness) plus the preposition 'with' marking the condition. This pattern (diagnosed with X) is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common way to express having a condition, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would understand it.
Etymology
Diagnosed with comes from the image of a doctor checking tests and saying what illness a patient 'has'. The word diagnosed is the doctor naming the illness and with links the person to that illness, so the phrase means being told you 'have' a disease.
