Should i take a nasal decongestant if i have coronary artery disease and diabetes?

Should be fine: Ask your doctor for a specific recommendation if you are worried. Even your local pharmacist could be a good source of advice.

Probably not: Nasal decongestants elevate blood pressure and that could be harmful for someone with heart disease. Check with your doctor to be sure.
