The difference is that rolled oats are much softer and thinner and digest faster, which can cause a blood sugar spike. Rolled oats are steamed, rolled, steamed again and toasted (making thin soft flakes.) Steel cut oats are more like chopped into thick pieces. They take a lot longer to digest.

For really-soft, really-fast digested, the ultimate would be "instant oatmeal." Starch breaks down stat, turns into sugar and goes straight to the bloodstream.
