Hi Jentoe, and welcome aboard!

The Quick-sets should be alright. In the past, they've had some issues (with the Quick-sets Plus) dislodging or bending, but they've removed those from the market. While bending can still occur with the Quick-sets, it's not as common and users just need to keep a good check on sugar levels after inserting any type of set so that they'll know whether the set is properly working or not.

While I'm personally not a fan of Quick-sets, others are able to use them without trouble. For my body type, they just don't seem to work as well. I think you'll do fine with them, though. Please keep us posted on your new pump & how things are working out for you! Hope this helps, and again, glad you're with us!
