After wandering so long in the darkness, a glimmer of hope.

Candid shot, Blackdown Beer and Music Festival.

The first drug that can stop Alzheimer's in its tracks 'could be available within five years' after medical breakthrough with medication normally used to treat diabetes

* Tests at Aarthus University in Denmark shows Liraglutide stops progress
*Drug, usually used to treat diabetes, even improved brain function in some
*UK is now trialing new drug on 206 Alzheimer's patients across 20 hospitals
* They ended in 2015 and leading doctor hopes it will be licensed in 5 years

Tests have shown that a cheap drug commonly used to treat diabetes called Liraglutide stopped the brain disease from advancing and in some cases even gave sufferers a cognitive boost.

No study has ever before shows such dramatic results, and it could mean those who detect the disease at an early stage could live a lifetime of normal brain function.
