cat desk1. One should be careful around one’s stove to avoid burning oneself.

This is a formal way of referring to people in general. Potentially it may feel too formal for the everyday subject matter.

cat desk2. You should be careful around your stove to avoid burning yourself.

Can refer to the person addressed, or can be a less formal way of saying (1), depending on context.

cat desk3. A person should be careful around their stove to avoid burning themselves.

Means essentially the same as (1), but feels slightly clunky.

cat desk4. How to tell if one has diabetes?
5. How to tell if you have diabetes?

Respectively a formal and less formal way of asking how you tell whether you yourself have diabetes.

cat desk6. How to tell if someone has diabetes?
7. How to tell if a person has diabetes?
