Solution 1

Since you are using a database then makes sense to modify your query in order to produce only unique values.
If the above option is not feasible then, before adding a new item, you may check if there is already an item with the same text in the ComboBox.
A third option would be adding all the items, sorting them and the traversing the ComboBox removing adjacent items having the same text.
