Re: Discrimination?

A more "relaxed" environment? You're asking your employer
to accomodate needs that you haven't bothered to have
documented. In order to make any sort of ADA-type claim,
you would need to be able to demonstrate that your employer
had reason to know that you have an ADA-covered illness and
that they weren't willing to accomodate you. Without
documentation, they can't be expected to trust your word.

Having a friend who is a nurse tell you that your odor is
due to diabetes (I'm assuming you're talking about the odor
caused by excessive ketones...a sort of sweet, fruity smell)
doesn't serve as proof of your condition.

And so no, it's not discrimination.

As a sidenote - if your blood sugar is so out of whack that
you're releasing excess ketones to the point that you can
smell it, you need to see a doctor. You could be getting
close to diabetic ketoacidosis - which can be very serious.
