1. A semiautomated injection device comprising:
a user-activated mechanism that generates a trigger input;
a user interface;
an injection mechanism;
a force sensing mechanism configured to measure resistance during injection;
a controller configured to:
begin a first dose application operation in response to a first trigger input signal;
determine that a first portion of said first dose application operation was normal;
determine that a second portion of said first dose application operation was abnormal based at least in part on said force sensing mechanism; and
calculate a makeup dose based at least in part on said second portion.
