Before inserting the data, perform a query that asks for the count of
records with that data in it. If you get a record, then don't insert the
data. This assumes that the data in the row is always unique. If it's
something like adding a stats record, then have some sort of time
comparison against the current time and the date entry of the latest
matching record.
