I tested this morning one hour after eating a large orange and my BS was 7.8 - would you safely say that this is OK and that i should be OK eating oranges?

Possibly. Depends on whether that was your peak and what you rose from. My peak for an orange on its own is about 30-45 minutes. You may be different.
 
Until I was diagnose a couple of weeks ago I was eating one large 'navel' oranges daily, love them. Eating fruit for me is my way of getting loads of vit C inside of me and I rarely get a cold.

I am eating half of one a day now after meals.

Looks like a perfectly acceptable spike for a 1 hour post reading.🙂
