As sayed by Chris "Kwpolska", you can compare the new data with the data 
of the first row.

Something like that:

  # Get the content of row 0, column A
first = str(self.table.item(0, 0).text())

for entryPos in range(lastRow, len(data)):
     if str(data[entryPos][0]) == first:
         self.update_first_row(data[entryPos])

     else:
         self.add_new_row(data[entryPos])
