do you think statins could be the cause of my neuropathy?

I got neuropathy many years ago when I was started on statins

and just got diagnosed recently with diabetes. The neurologist

thought it might be lack of copper so now I am taking 4 vitamins

a day with 2mg. copper each one.  I finally got the copper up to

normal level but the pain and tingling is still there.  The only thing

I have been taking for many years is statins - not the same brand

but some form of it over the years.
