English term or phrase: on lap
Tengo un texto en el que explica las posibles dificultades que pueden aparecer al realizarse un autocontrol de la glucosa. ¿Qué interpretan ustedes por on lap? No tendría lógica pensar que es "sobre las rodillas", si se tienen en cuenta las enumeraciones anteriores, ¿no es cierto?
Gracias por la ayuda.
